What does “affordable” mean on this Lower East Side buildings page?

“Affordable” here is market-relative, based on the building’s median asking rent compared to the Lower East Side median. It is not income-restricted housing.

Does the affordable filter include subsidized or lottery-based housing?

No. This page is for market-relative affordability, not income-restricted housing, not subsidized housing, not NYCHA, not HPD, and not Section 8 or any housing-lottery program.

What does “near the M103 bus” mean for these buildings?

The filter groups buildings located near the M103 bus route in the Lower East Side. You should still check the exact address and your real walking time from the unit to the stop you’d use.

Is the building rating on Openigloo based on all buildings in the area?

No. The neighborhood stats provided are across rated buildings only. Use the score as one signal and still verify the most current details with the building.

Are the listed prices the full monthly cost?

Asking rent is only part of the picture. Even with an affordable filter, you should confirm the full monthly cost, including required fees/deposits and utilities (and any other charges tied to the lease).

How should I use the renter-first details when comparing buildings?

Treat them as a starting point: compare the affordability signal, review the building’s rated-building information, and then confirm lease terms, move-in requirements, and any building policies directly before you commit.
