It shows market-relative affordable apartments in Midtown West for 1-bedroom rentals, meaning asking rents at or below $4,600/month for this scope. It is not the same as income-restricted or subsidized housing.

No. Openigloo's affordable filter is market-relative and based on asking rent, not on NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or any other official affordable-housing program.

The threshold is the 25th percentile of gross rents for this scope — the cheaper roughly 25% of asking rents in Midtown West for 1-bedroom apartments — then clamped to a safe floor and ceiling so it stays realistic.

The median rent shows the middle of the current market for this page's scope. With 17 apartments for rent and 1-bedroom units in Midtown West, it helps you see whether a specific apartment is priced below or above the typical asking rent.

Verified status on Openigloo speaks to listing quality, not every lease detail. Confirm broker fees, deposits, utilities, move-in charges, lease length, and any building rules directly with the landlord or agent.

Location within Midtown West, building age, amenities, lease terms, and fees can all change the real monthly cost. Even if the asking rent is at or below $4,600/month, deposits, utilities, and broker fees may push the total higher.

Because 1-bedroom apartments usually cost more than studios, the mix of unit count, median rent, and available inventory affects how far your budget goes. Comparing the $4,410 median rent against the $4,600 ceiling can help you narrow options without overstretching.
