Affordable verified studio apartments for rent in NYC

This page includes 277+ verified studio apartments for rent in NYC that match the affordable filter. The current median rent is $3,218, and the affordable rent ceiling is $3,400.

Affordable here is a market-relative affordability filter, not a government housing program. It selects apartments with asking rents at or below $3,400, which is the 25th-percentile threshold for this scope.

No. These are market-rate apartments for rent that fall under Openigloo’s market-relative affordability threshold. They are not NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or a housing-lottery program.

Openigloo sets it using the 25th percentile of gross rents for this NYC-wide studio scope, then clamps it to a safe floor and ceiling. On this page, that comes out to $3,400.

Affordability depends on more than asking rent. Location, building age, amenities, lease length, fees, and utilities can all change the total monthly cost even when the rent is at or under $3,400.

Make sure the sleeping area, kitchen setup, storage, and single bathroom fit the way you live. Also confirm move-in costs, any broker fee, and whether utilities are included.

Verified means Openigloo has checked the quality of the apartment information, but it does not guarantee the final lease terms or future availability. Confirm the current rent, fees, and unit details with the agent before you apply.
