What does affordable mean on this page?

On Openigloo, affordable is a market-relative filter. It shows apartments for rent with asking rents at or below $4,700 for All Downtown, based on the 25th percentile of gross rents for this scope, not an official housing program.

Is this income-restricted, subsidized, or housing-lottery housing?

No. These are not income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or housing-lottery apartments. The affordable filter is market-relative and only reflects asking rent within this neighborhood and borough scope.

How is the affordable threshold decided?

Openigloo uses the 25th percentile of gross rents for the All Downtown neighborhood in Manhattan, then clamps it to a safe floor and ceiling so the threshold stays realistic.

What does good cause mean?

Good cause refers to tenant-protection buildings where certain rent increases or non-renewals may be limited by law. You still need to review the lease, renewal terms, and any notices carefully.

What should I confirm before I apply?

Check the full monthly cost, including utilities, deposit, broker fee, and any amenity or application charges. For good cause buildings, also confirm the renewal rules and whether any tenant protections apply to your unit.

Why do location, building age, amenities, and lease terms affect affordability?

A unit can look affordable on asking rent alone, but newer buildings, amenity packages, and shorter or stricter lease terms can raise the total monthly cost and move-in expense. Location within All Downtown can also change pricing quickly.

How do median rent and the apartment count help with budget planning here?

This page shows 204+ apartments for rent and a median rent of $4,124, so the market is active but still competitive. With a 1-bedroom and studio-heavy mix, your budget will need to account for unit size as well as the asking rent.
