Affordable verified 1-bedroom apartments for rent in The Bronx

It shows 1-bedroom apartments for rent in The Bronx that are verified on Openigloo and priced at or below the page’s market-relative affordability ceiling of $2,800. Verified refers to listing quality, not a guarantee of a unit or lease terms.

No. Affordable on Openigloo is a market-relative filter, not an official affordable-housing program. It selects apartments with asking rents at or below the 25th percentile of gross rents for The Bronx scope, clamped to a safe ceiling, and it does not mean NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or lottery housing.

Openigloo sets it from the 25th percentile of gross rents for the page’s scope, which here is The Bronx borough for 1-bedroom apartments. That gives a market-relative affordability threshold based on current asking rents, then clamps it to a safe floor and ceiling so it stays usable.

Because asking rent is only part of the cost. Broker fees, security deposits, utilities, amenity fees, move-in charges, and lease terms can raise the true monthly burden even when the rent is under $2,800.

This page has 40 apartments for rent with a median rent of $2,515, so the available budget range is tight enough that location and building quality can change what fits. In a 1-bedroom search, even small rent differences can matter once you add upfront move-in costs.

Confirm the exact rent, lease length, deposit, application requirements, move-in date, and any building rules. Verified status helps with confidence, but it does not replace checking the unit in person or reviewing the lease carefully.

Neighborhood, building age, amenities, commute access, and lease terms all affect pricing. A renovated building or a shorter commute can push rents higher, while fewer amenities or an older building may keep asking rents closer to the $2,800 ceiling.
