No. The affordable filter on Openigloo is market-relative, not an official affordable-housing program. It selects apartments with asking rents at or below the 25th percentile of gross rents for this scope, then clamps that threshold to a safe floor and ceiling.

Openigloo sets it from the 25th percentile of gross rents for the Upper East Side neighborhood in Manhattan, so it captures the cheaper roughly 25% of asking rents in this scope. For this page, that ceiling is $3,700.

The full monthly cost matters: broker fees, deposits, utilities, and any building or lease charges can change what a unit really costs. A lower asking rent does not always mean a lower move-in cost.

Affordability here is market-relative, so location, building age, amenities, and lease terms can push rents toward the top of the local market even when they are under $3,700. Check the full terms before you decide.

With 35 apartments for rent and a $3,190 median rent, you can use the median as a quick benchmark while comparing individual units. Bedroom mix also matters because 1-bedrooms and 2-bedrooms often price differently and can move your budget up or down.

Trending nearby neighborhoods include Yorkville, Lenox Hill, East Village, Hell's Kitchen, and Kips Bay. If you want more choices, compare rents and building reviews across those areas too.
