What does “affordable” mean on this page?

On Openigloo, the affordable filter is based on market-relative pricing: the building’s median asking rent is below the Financial District neighborhood median. It’s not an income-restricted program or subsidized housing.

What does “near-waterfront” mean here?

The filter groups buildings located in the Financial District area close to the waterfront. Distances can vary by block, so confirm the exact walk to your preferred subway stops and destinations.

How does Openigloo help me compare buildings that look similar?

You can use renter feedback and rated-building signals to spot common issues and patterns, then verify specifics with the building directly (pricing terms, move-in requirements, and building rules).

Does “affordable” guarantee lower out-of-pocket costs?

No. Asking rent is only part of the monthly picture. Confirm the full cost details like broker fees, deposits, and which utilities are included before budgeting.

What should I ask the building before signing?

Ask about total move-in fees, deposit requirements, utility costs, lease renewal/renewal timing, and any move-in documentation or procedures. If there’s an advertised price, ask what it covers and what changes over the lease term.

Is this affordable housing income-restricted, subsidized, or part of a housing lottery?

No. The affordable filter on Openigloo is market-relative based on asking-rent levels. It is not income-restricted housing, not subsidized housing, not NYCHA, not HPD, and not Section 8, and it is not a housing-lottery or affordable-housing program.
