Affordable buildings near the SIM10 bus in Stuyvesant Town/PCV

It’s market-relative: the building’s median asking rent is below the neighborhood median. It is not tied to income limits or subsidized programs.

It narrows to buildings in the Stuyvesant Town/PCV area near the SIM10 corridor. You should still confirm the closest stop to your target building entrance and check the walk time at the hours you’ll travel.

Not necessarily. The filter is based on the building’s median asking rent. Individual units can be priced differently by floor, layout, view, and availability.

No. This “affordable” filter is not income-restricted housing, not subsidized, not NYCHA, not HPD, not Section 8, and not a housing-lottery/affordable-housing program.

Look past the headline rent and ask for the full monthly picture, including deposits, broker fees where applicable, and utilities. These can materially change your budget even if the rent is market-relative affordable.

Openigloo combines renter-facing signals like building-level details and what rated buildings have surfaced with open-data style indicators to help you ask better questions. You should still confirm policy specifics directly with the building for your target unit.

It helps you screen, but it’s not a guarantee. Building conditions, noise, and maintenance can vary by unit and floor, so use the rating plus tenant Q&A to target questions before you sign.
