No. This filter is not income-restricted housing, not subsidized, not NYCHA, not HPD, and not Section 8. It also isn’t a housing-lottery / affordable-housing program.

In plain terms, Openigloo compares each building’s median asking rent to the neighborhood median. If the building’s median asking rent is below the neighborhood median, it can be flagged as affordable for this page.

No. The 26+ count is the number of buildings that match these filters. Availability can change by unit and date, so check the building for current advertised apartments (when shown).

Confirm the full monthly cost (including utilities and any deposits/fees), the unit’s exact rent and concessions (if listed), lease term, and screening requirements. Affordable by median asking rent doesn’t guarantee the specific unit will fit your budget after total costs.

Yes. Lease terms, move-in timing, and building policies can vary widely. The affordable flag is about rent levels, but you should still verify rules that affect your situation (like required documentation, lease duration, and any building charges).

Openigloo combines renter-facing signals (like ratings/notes) with open-data indicators and on-page building context. Still, treat the listing as a starting point and confirm details directly with the building or management before you commit.
