While there have been only a handful of truly affordable apartments available on New York City’s Housing Connect portal over the past two years, every now and again a development pops up that truly can be called affordable housing.
One such development is Bedford Green House Phase II in the Bedford Park section of The Bronx.
The development has 116 units of which almost half will be set aside for seniors but in this latest lottery, there are a number of units with no age restrictions and rents starting as low as $454 a month for studios for qualifying applicants meeting the income guidelines for such units.
The development also accepts Project Based Vouchers for some studio and one-bedroom units.
According to the listing on Housing Connect, Bedford Green House Phase II is a pet-friendly development with WIFI available in common areas, a gym, community center, a recreation room, a children’s playroom, outdoor terrace, package locker room, and gated access.
Breakdown of available units and income requirements are as follows (see website for full details and household size requirements):
