Affordable buildings near City College Academy of the Arts in NYC

Openigloo’s affordable filter is market-relative. A building qualifies when its median asking rent is below the neighborhood median. It is not income-restricted housing and it is not tied to a subsidized program.

There are 13+ buildings on this page that currently match the affordable + location scope as of 2026-07-07.

No. This page is based on market-relative asking-rent comparisons. It is not income-restricted housing, not subsidized, not NYCHA, not HPD, not Section 8, and not a housing-lottery or affordable-housing program.

Not necessarily. The filter compares each building’s median asking rent to the neighborhood median, so your exact monthly cost depends on the specific unit, current pricing, and what utilities/fees are included.

Ask the building or broker to confirm the full monthly cost (utilities, parking, any recurring fees), the required deposits, and the lease terms for your exact unit. Don’t rely on asking rent alone.

No. The affordable filter is about asking-rent levels relative to the area. Rent stabilization, good-cause/tenant protections, and renewal terms depend on the specific building and unit—confirm directly.

Use Openigloo to shortlist and compare. Start with the building’s signals (including tenant Q&A and rated-building information where available), then verify key details with management for the specific apartment and lease you’re considering.
