A lottery has opened for 225 brand new affordable apartments just blocks from Yankee Stadium.
Located at 1164 River Avenue at the 167th Street Station on the 4 subway line, the development is one of three going up on that block and the first to be nearing completion.
The 17-story development was also the second proposed development announced once the controversial Jerome Avenue Rezoning was approved in 2018 which would pave the way for the displacement of dozens of automotive shops and small businesses.
Available apartments range from studios as low as $375 a month to three-bedroom apartments at $672 a month for qualifying households making 30% of the Area Median Income (AMI) and each apartment will have access to free broadband internet access.
