What to check before choosing an affordable building in Midtown
- Expect market-relative affordable buildings where the median asking rent is below the Midtown average.
- Confirm additional costs like broker fees, security deposits, and other utilities that may contribute to your monthly budget.
- Look into lease terms and any restrictions or fees related to applying or signing a lease in these buildings.
- Understand that market-relative affordable does not mean income-restricted housing; these buildings are not subsidized or part of housing lottery programs.
- Check if the buildings are pet-friendly and what specific policies are in place regarding pets.
