This is going to be a popular one: If you qualify, you might as well apply to get this serious deal in Hell's Kitchen. All 17 units are up for grabs at 424 West 55th Street, a new building with on-site laundry, an outdoor courtyard, and bicycle storage (for an additional fee).
The median rental price in the neighborhood at the moment is $3,625, but here, studios are available for $1,146, one-bedrooms for $1,230, two-bedrooms for $1,486, and three-bedrooms for $1,709.
As usual, there are income restrictions. To snag a studio, you have to make at least $40,629 and no more than $50,750. For a one-bedroom, the minimum income is $43,543, and maximum is $58,000 (for a two-person household). Two bedrooms are available for those making between $52,355 and $72,500. The largest apartments are reserved for people making between $60,446 and $84,100, and for families with up to six people. More info below:
A percentage of units have been set aside for neighborhood applicants (in this case, of Community Board 4, which encompasses Chelsea and Hell's Kitchen) and municipal employees.
