The Junior-1

I have a listing right now on 46th Street that is a "Junior-1," which means it has a separate sleeping area, but no real door separating that sleeping area from the living area. Often, this is because there is not window in the sleeping area, so the landlord cannot close it off an legally call it a bedroom. In the case of my 46th Street listing, there is a large and bright window, but the owner just doesn't  feel like installing a door. See a virtual tour of this Junior-1 here.

Beware: when searching for apartments, some websites, such as Craigslist, don't allow have a "Junior-1" classification, so most junior-1's are categorized as 1-bedrooms. In fact, some of these would better be described as "alcove studios," which are L-shaped studios with a sleeping nook, but no real separation between the sleeping and living areas.
