Browse 1,357 affordable apartments for rent in NYC with a median rent of $2,795. This page groups apartments across neighborhoods like Hell's Kitchen, Yorkville, and Stuyvesant Town/PCV, so you can compare options without starting from scratch. OpenIgloo helps you look beyond price by pairing apartments for rent with building-level reviews and renter signals. Use the affordability filter to focus on lower-price options, then check building ratings, tenancy patterns, and any lease details before you apply.

  • Expect a wide mix of neighborhoods and building types, not one specific area.
  • Use the median rent of $2,795 as a quick budget reference, then compare each apartment for rent against it.
  • Affordable here means the current price filter is set to apartments under $3,400, so confirm the full rent before you reach out.
  • Check building reviews and recent renter feedback to spot issues that price alone will not show.
  • Ask about move-in costs, broker fees, and lease terms before you apply, since lower rent can still come with high upfront costs.
