No. Affordable here means market-relative affordable apartments, based on asking rents at or below the 25th percentile of gross rents for this scope, not an official affordable-housing program.

Openigloo sets it at the 25th percentile of gross rents for this page’s scope, then clamps it to a safe floor and ceiling so the filter stays realistic. Here, that means asking rents at or below $3,700.

It means the apartment is in a regulated category with limits on certain rent increases and renewal protections. You should still confirm the unit’s current status and the exact lease terms before applying.

With 360+ apartments for rent and a $3,112 median rent, you can expect a wide range of prices. Use the median as a planning benchmark, but compare the actual rent, fees, utilities, and move-in costs for each unit.

Neighborhood, building age, amenities, lease length, broker fee, and required deposits can all change the real monthly cost. A lower asking rent can still be expensive once those costs are added.

Ask whether the apartment is currently rent-stabilized, what increases are allowed at renewal, whether there is a broker fee, and what move-in charges apply. The full monthly cost matters beyond the asking rent.
