Affordable pet-friendly 1-bedroom apartments for rent in Upper West Side

Here, affordable means market-relative affordable apartments. Openigloo is showing 1-bedroom apartments for rent in Upper West Side with asking rents at or below $4,600/month, which is the 25th-percentile affordability threshold for this scope, not a government housing program.

No. This page is not income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or housing-lottery housing. It is a market-relative filter based on asking rent, so you still need to review the full monthly cost and lease terms.

Openigloo sets the threshold at the 25th percentile of gross rents for the Upper West Side neighborhood in Manhattan for 1-bedroom apartments, then clamps it to a safe floor and ceiling so it stays realistic. On this page, that ceiling is $4,600/month.

Confirm whether your pet is accepted before applying. Even when a building is pet-friendly, there may be fees, breed or weight limits, pet counts, deposit rules, or cat-only or dog-only restrictions.

These factors can push the asking rent up or down, even within the same neighborhood. A newer building, more amenities, or stricter lease terms can raise the total cost, so compare the rent with fees, utilities, and any broker charge.

The median rent is $4,100 and the page includes 7 apartments for rent, so there is some room to compare options, but you still need to check layout, pet rules, and total move-in costs before deciding.
