Affordable buildings near 116 St station in NYC

It’s market-relative: a building’s median asking rent is below the neighborhood median. It’s not an income-restricted program.

No. This filter does not indicate income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or housing-lottery housing. You’ll need to rely on the building’s specific rent program, if any, which should be stated in the listing and building information.

Use the median as a starting filter, then confirm the exact unit’s asking rent, fees, and any concessions. The median can still hide unit-to-unit differences.

Confirm the broker fee, deposits, and which utilities are included vs billed separately. Also ask about any recurring building fees that affect the monthly total.

This page is scoped to the affordable filter and station area, but availability can change. Use the building page to see whether there are currently advertised apartments and note the listed move-in timing.

Openigloo aggregates building signals like ratings, written context, and tenant Q&A. Use those details to sanity-check day-to-day factors (management response, building upkeep, and unit-level realities) before you commit.

Yes. Start with this affordable+station scope, then tighten by what matters to you on each building page (pricing for the specific unit, lease terms, and any stated building policies). If you’re unsure about a policy, ask the building directly.
