Affordable buildings near the 1 train in Manhattan

It’s a combined filter: buildings in Manhattan near the 1 train, where the building qualifies for the affordable, market-relative category. The affordable flag is based on the building’s median asking rent compared with the neighborhood median.

It’s market-relative, not a guaranteed tenant subsidy. Openigloo flags buildings where the building’s median asking rent is below the neighborhood’s median, so you can find options that are priced lower than the surrounding market.

No. This page is NOT income-restricted housing, NOT subsidized, NOT NYCHA, NOT HPD, NOT Section 8, and NOT a housing-lottery/affordable-housing program. The filter is based on market-relative asking-rent levels.

The filter is set to buildings near the 1 train corridor within Manhattan. Exact walking time and access depend on the building’s block location, so verify the commute route for the specific address.
