Affordable 1-bedroom apartments for rent in Queens

It is a market-relative affordability filter. Openigloo shows apartments for rent with asking rents at or below $3,300/month for 1-bedroom apartments in Queens, based on the 25th percentile of gross rents for this scope. It is not an official affordable-housing program.

No. These are market-rate apartments for rent that meet Openigloo's market-relative affordability threshold. They are not income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or housing-lottery units unless a separate program is specifically stated by the landlord or listing.

Openigloo uses the 25th percentile of gross rents for the Queens borough for 1-bedroom apartments, then clamps it to a safe floor and ceiling. On this page, that results in a maximum asking rent of $3,300/month.

Location, building age, amenities, lease length, and fees all affect the real cost. A lower asking rent can still be more expensive overall if there is a broker fee, higher deposit, utility costs, or mandatory amenity charges.

Treat 71+ as current inventory, not a guarantee. Queens 1-bedroom availability can change quickly, so confirm the unit is still open and ask whether the quoted rent, fees, and lease terms are still active before touring.

Confirm the full move-in cost, whether utilities are included, lease length, renewal terms, and any building rules that could affect you. If the apartment has pet rules or other restrictions, get them in writing before you apply.
