Apply for New “Affordable” Housing Apartments in Allerton

This one made me laugh when it came across my desk. Apparently $1,900 is “affordable” for a two bedroom in The Bronx according to a new offering on NYC’s Housing Connect.

There are currently 5 units available for residents making 130% of the Area Median Income which ranges from $49,715 – $86,840 for a single person looking for a $1,450 1 bedroom unit to a family of four making anywhere from $65,143 – $124,020 for a two bedroom unit at $1,900.

The apartments are located at  2548 Cruger Avenue and right around the corner from the Allerton Avenue stop on the 2 train pretty much centrally located to the area’s bustling shopping district and a stone’s throw away from Pelham Parkway and White Plains Road shopping district as well.

If you want to apply, head on over to NYC Housing Connect and do so. Good luck!
