Affordable verified studio apartments for rent in Gowanus

Verified means the apartment has been checked on Openigloo. It does not guarantee the unit is still available, and it does not replace your own review of the lease, fees, or unit condition.

No. Affordable on Openigloo is a market-relative filter. It shows apartments for rent with asking rents at or below $3,300 on this page, based on the 25th percentile of gross rents for the Gowanus studio scope, not official affordable housing.

Openigloo sets the affordable threshold at the 25th percentile of gross rents for the Gowanus studio scope, then clamps it to a safe floor and ceiling so the filter stays realistic. On this page, that ceiling is $3,300.

The full monthly cost matters. Ask about broker fees, deposits, utilities, application fees, and any recurring building charges before you apply, because a unit under $3,300 can still cost more once those are added.

This page is for studios, so one unit has to cover sleeping, living, and often storage in the same layout. In Gowanus, the median rent is $3,282 across 4 apartments for rent, so it helps to compare the layout carefully before deciding.

In the latest snapshot, Downtown Brooklyn, Flatbush, Gowanus, Greenpoint, and Fort Greene. Trending counts are a snapshot of current inventory and can change fast.

Location within Gowanus, building age, amenities, lease terms, and fees all affect the real monthly cost. A lower asking rent can still be less affordable once utilities, deposits, and move-in charges are included.
