PROS This Southie condo in a converted church offers lots of space for the money, with a loftlike living area on the upper level and two masters in the lower. The kitchen is galley-style but has a practical layout, granite countertops, stainless appliances, and plenty of cabinet space, and the baths are up-to-date and tastefully done. Though the bedrooms are in the lower level, each has a full window with a window seat and built-ins surrounding it. CONS The washer/dryer is located in one of the bedrooms, rather than the shared hallway. Contact Jane C. Hoffmann, Hammond Residential/GMAC Real Estate, Boston, 617-587-4615, hammondre.com.

PROS Blocks from Porter Square, this duplex condo is one of just a few left in a building whose renovation was completed in March 2007. It has a large granite-and-stainless kitchen that's open to the living and dining rooms, which are sunny and comfortably laid out. The bedrooms are in the lower level, but the ceilings are high and there are paned windows and plenty of closet space. CONS The bedrooms are on the small side, and in one bathroom, your legs touch the toilet when you stand at one of the two sinks. Contact Robyn Erman, Coldwell Banker, Cambridge, 617-413-8253, newenglandmoves.com.

PROS With one master suite on the lower level beside the office and the second, larger one upstairs near the main living area, this North End condo offers plenty of privacy. There's a narrow balcony off each bedroom, as well as a Juliet balcony in the living room, all facing neighboring buildings rather than a busy street. CONS The living/dining area is small, and the fireplace is off-center, making it less of a focal point. Contact Chris Tuite, Gibson Sotheby's, Boston, 617-877-0519, gibsondomaindomain.com.
