Openigloo sets it using the 25th percentile of gross rents for the Hell's Kitchen neighborhood in Manhattan for 1-bedroom apartments. In plain terms, it captures the cheaper slice of current asking rents in this scope, up to the $4,500 ceiling shown here.

Affordability on this page is based on asking rent only. Building age, amenities, lease length, broker fee, deposits, utilities, and required move-in costs can change the real monthly and upfront cost.

Check the full lease terms, exact move-in costs, any broker fee, and whether the unit's layout works for a 1-bedroom budget. A strong building score does not remove unit-specific fees or restrictions.

With 16+ apartments for rent and a median rent of $4,400, budget planning should account for a narrow spread around the ceiling. If you need more space, ask whether the unit layout, storage, and bath setup make sense before paying application costs.

Hell's Kitchen commonly has 1-bedrooms and studios, so the mix tends to favor smaller layouts. Review the floor plan carefully and confirm whether the building's rules, fees, and lease terms fit your move-in timeline.
