It’s market-relative affordable: the building’s median asking rent is below the neighborhood median. This filter does not mean income-restricted housing.

No. This page is not income-restricted, not subsidized, not NYCHA, not HPD, not Section 8, and not a housing-lottery or affordable-housing program.

Openigloo aggregates building-level signals like ratings and renter feedback, and it highlights open-data-backed context when available. You still should confirm specifics directly with the building for your unit.

No. The filter reflects current median asking rent comparisons. Actual renewals, increases, and lease terms can vary by unit and landlord, so confirm details with the building.

Even with an affordable asking price, the full monthly cost can change with a broker fee, deposit, and utilities (and sometimes building charges). Review the lease and ask what’s included.

Verify utilities included, laundry and storage access, any move-in fees, and lease start/renewal terms. If the building has rules (pets, smoking, guests, building access), confirm them in writing.

Availability can update as new apartments for rent are advertised or removed. Also, affordability comparisons reflect asking-rent data, which can shift as inventory changes.
