Affordable buildings near the BX1 bus in the Bronx

It’s market-relative affordable: the building’s median asking rent is below the neighborhood median. This filter is based on listing asking-rent data, not income eligibility.

No. The affordable filter on Openigloo is not income-restricted housing, not subsidized, not NYCHA, not HPD, and not Section 8, and it’s not a housing-lottery / affordable-housing program.

Start with the bus route you’ll rely on day to day, then compare buildings for commute time consistency (walk to stops, transfer needs, and typical wait patterns) and for building basics that affect the commute (package handling, elevator timing, and maintenance).

Verify the full monthly cost (utilities and any fees on top of rent), total move-in cash (broker fee and deposit rules), and any move-in requirements. Also confirm availability for your target dates and the exact lease terms.

No. The filter reflects the current median asking rent signal used to rank eligible buildings. Always ask the landlord or management what to expect at renewal for your specific unit.

Look beyond rent: check unit features, building operations, and practical day-to-day factors using what’s shown on the building page and tenant Q&A. Then confirm any charges or restrictions that aren’t obvious from the asking price.
