Affordable buildings near the SIM35 bus in Manhattan

It’s market-relative affordable: a building is included when its median asking rent is below Manhattan’s median. It’s not income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8 housing, and it is not a housing-lottery/affordable-housing program.

This page groups buildings by their proximity to the SIM35 bus route. Use the map/list to confirm how far the specific building is from your usual stop and walking route.

No. The filter reflects median asking rent at the time of the building’s data snapshot. Always ask the landlord for the lease’s renewal and rent-increase terms for your specific unit.

Confirm the full monthly picture: any broker fee, required deposit, utilities, and recurring building fees (if applicable). Two apartments with similar asking rent can differ materially once total monthly costs are included.

Not automatically. The page is filtered to eligible buildings, but availability changes. Open each building card to see what’s currently advertised and whether there are units that match your move-in timeline.

They’re useful for spotting patterns, but individual apartments and experiences vary. Treat them as a starting point, then verify key details directly with the building (maintenance process, noise, parking, and any fee expectations).
