What does “market-relative affordable” mean on this page?

It means the building’s median asking rent is below the Lower East Side neighborhood median. This is not income-restricted housing, not subsidized, and not a housing-lottery program.

How many buildings are eligible for this affordable + M15-SBS bus filter in the Lower East Side?

There are 18+ eligible buildings currently shown on this page.

Does “affordable” guarantee the final rent you’ll pay?

No. The filter is based on median asking rent at the building level. Your specific unit price, lease terms, and any additional monthly charges still determine your full cost.

What should I confirm with the building before applying?

Confirm the full monthly cost (including deposit, broker fee where applicable, and utilities), review lease/renewal terms, and verify whether the unit availability matches what you’re planning to move into.

Is this income-restricted, subsidized, or housing-lottery housing?

No. This page uses a market-relative affordable filter based on asking-rent medians. It is not NYCHA, not HPD, not Section 8, and not a housing-lottery / affordable-housing program.

How does Openigloo use renter signals for these buildings?
