Because market-relative affordability depends on the local market, not on a government subsidy. In Midtown, the median rent on this page is $4,644, and location, building age, amenities, and lease terms can all push asking rents up or down.

Ask about the current lease term, renewal rules, any rent increases, and whether fees, deposits, utilities, or amenity charges will add to the monthly cost. Rent-stabilized protections do not remove move-in costs.
