No. This page is not limited to income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or housing-lottery units. Openigloo's affordable filter is market-relative and highlights apartments priced at or below the page's affordability threshold.

It is set at the 25th percentile of gross rents for the All Upper Manhattan neighborhood in Manhattan — the cheapest roughly 25% of asking rents in that scope — and capped at a safe floor and ceiling so it stays realistic.

The full monthly cost matters: broker fee, security deposit, utilities, move-in charges, and any recurring amenity or pet fees can change what an apartment really costs.

Location within Upper Manhattan, building age, amenities, lease terms, and fees can all affect affordability even when two apartments have similar asking rents.

All Upper Manhattan has 57 apartments for rent, a median rent of $2,716, and the most common unit sizes are 1-bedrooms and 2-bedrooms, so your budget should account for both bedroom count and total rent.
