Affordable verified apartments for rent in Upper West Side

On Openigloo, affordable is a market-relative filter. It includes apartments for rent with asking rents at or below $4,600 for this scope, which is based on the 25th percentile of gross rents for this area. It is not income-restricted housing, subsidized housing, housing-lottery housing, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8.

No. These are market-relative affordable apartments, not official affordable-housing units. The filter is based on asking rent within this scope, not on income eligibility or a government program.

Openigloo sets it using the 25th percentile of gross rents for the page's scope, then clamps it to a safe floor and ceiling. For this page, that means asking rents at or below $4,600 in Upper West Side.

Verified refers to Openigloo's quality check on the apartment information. It does not mean the unit is guaranteed available, approved for your application, or free of extra fees and restrictions.

Confirm the rent, lease length, broker fee, security deposit, utilities, and any building fees. For verified apartments, you should still ask about move-in timing and whether the unit shown is the exact unit being rented.

Location within Upper West Side, building age, amenities, and lease terms can all change the final cost. A lower asking rent can still come with higher monthly carrying costs once fees and utilities are added.

Upper West Side inventory here skews to 1-bedrooms and 2-bedrooms, so budget planning should account for both unit size and the median rent of $3,983. That helps you compare whether a unit fits your monthly limit before you tour.
