No. This is not official affordable housing. It is a market-relative affordable apartments filter, so it does not mean income-restricted housing, subsidized housing, NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or a lottery unit.

Openigloo sets it at the 25th percentile of gross rents for the Manhattan borough for 1-bedroom apartments, then applies a safe floor and ceiling so the filter stays realistic. It is based on asking rent, not your income.

Because asking rent is only part of what you pay. Broker fees, security deposit, utilities, and any building charges can change the real monthly and upfront cost a lot.

Ask how the good cause protections apply to the unit, whether the lease has renewal or non-renewal limits, and whether any fee, deposit, or rent increase terms are tied to the building or lease structure.

Use the 305+ apartments for rent, the $3,594 median rent, and the $4,500 ceiling together. In Manhattan, bedroom count and building quality can shift price quickly, so compare several units before setting a budget.
