No. The affordable filter on Openigloo is market-relative and does not indicate income-restricted housing, subsidies, NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or a housing-lottery program.

Does “affordable” guarantee the lowest rent or the best deal?

No. It only compares each building’s median asking rent to the neighborhood median. Your unit’s final price can still vary by floor, lease length, and current availability.

What costs should I calculate beyond the asking rent?

Calculate the full monthly budget including broker fee (if applicable), deposit, utilities, and any building-required charges so the total stays within your plan.

What should I confirm before signing a lease?
