What to check before choosing an affordable building in Chelsea

  • Confirm what the building's median asking rent is compared to the neighborhood median before applying.
  • Understand that affordable does not mean income-restricted housing; these buildings are not subsidized or part of any housing-lottery programs.
  • Check for any additional fees like broker fees, deposits, or utilities that may affect your total monthly cost.
  • Review tenant experiences through Openigloo to gauge building management and common issues reported by renters.
  • Ensure you verify all pet policies and restrictions directly with the building, even if they are listed as pet-friendly.
