Affordable buildings near Times Sq-42 St station in NYC

“Affordable” here is market-relative: a building’s median asking rent is below the neighborhood median. It’s not tied to income limits and it’s not subsidized housing.

Openigloo shows 20+ buildings that match this multi-filter scope as of 2026-07-07.

No. This filter identifies market-relative affordability based on asking-rent levels. It is not income-restricted housing, not subsidized housing, not NYCHA, not HPD, not Section 8, and not a housing-lottery or affordable-housing program.

Not automatically. The filter uses building-level median asking rent, so the unit you rent can be higher or lower. You still need to check the specific unit price, fees, and lease details for the apartment you’re considering.

Plan for the full monthly and move-in cost: broker fee (if applicable), deposits, and any utilities or required charges. Two buildings with similar asking rents can still differ in total cost.

Use them to spot patterns and ask better questions, then confirm details with the building directly. Policies and unit-by-unit terms can vary even within the same building.

It means the building is included in this page’s Times Sq-42 St station-targeted scope on Openigloo. Before committing, verify the practical commute for your exact address and walk/transit route.
