No. On Openigloo, affordable is a market-relative filter, not an official affordable-housing program. It selects apartments with asking rents at or below the 25th percentile of gross rents for the Midtown East neighborhood in Manhattan, clamped to a safe floor and ceiling.

Openigloo sets it using the 25th percentile of gross rents for the Midtown East neighborhood in Manhattan, then clamps it to a safe floor and ceiling so the result stays realistic. For this page, that ceiling is $3,700/month.

Because pet-friendly usually means pets are allowed under specific rules. A landlord may still charge pet rent or a pet deposit, and there can be breed, size, number-of-pets, or documentation requirements.

A newer building, elevator, doorman, laundry, or extra amenities can push rents up, while longer leases, concessions, or fewer amenities can change the true monthly cost. In Midtown East, the asking rent is only part of the budget; fees, utilities, and move-in costs matter too.

Confirm the exact pet policy, the total move-in cost, whether the studio has a separate sleeping area or an efficient layout, and whether the lease term fits your budget. Also check the building’s review history when available.

This page has 15 apartments for rent with a median rent of $3,407, so you can quickly see how current inventory compares with the middle of the market. In a studio search, that helps you judge whether a lower-priced unit is actually competitive or just priced below the neighborhood norm.
