Affordable buildings near the S train in Manhattan

It’s market-relative affordable. Openigloo compares a building’s median asking rent to the neighborhood median, so the building’s asking rents tend to be below the local baseline. It is not income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8 housing.

No. This page is market-relative affordable housing—not income-restricted, not subsidized, not NYCHA, not HPD, not Section 8, and not a housing-lottery/affordable-housing program.
