Affordable buildings near 34 St-Herald Sq station in NYC

It’s market-relative affordable. Openigloo marks buildings where the building’s median asking rent is below the neighborhood median. It is not based on income eligibility.

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

In plain terms, Openigloo compares each building’s median asking rent against the neighborhood median asking rent, then includes buildings that fall below that benchmark.

Not necessarily. The filter is about current asking price patterns. Renewal terms vary by building and lease. Before committing, ask directly about renewal expectations and any rent-change history.

Confirm the full monthly cost and move-in charges. Even when the rent looks affordable, deposits, broker fees (if applicable), and monthly utilities can change what you actually pay.

Ask about lease length, availability timing, and whether utilities or any amenities affect your monthly total. Also confirm any documentation requirements and the exact fee schedule tied to the apartment.

Open-data signals and building info can lag real-world conditions. Use the page to narrow options, then confirm current availability, pricing, and building policies directly with leasing.
