In the past two years, there have been very few genuinely affordable apartments listed on New York City’s Housing Connect portal, but occasionally, a development emerges that can genuinely be classified as affordable housing.
Bedford Green House Phase II is a new project located in the Bedford Park area of The Bronx.
The project includes 116 units, with nearly half designated for seniors. In the recent lottery, several units are available without age restrictions, featuring rents as low as $454 per month for studios, aimed at qualifying applicants who meet the income criteria.
The project also accepts vouchers based on specific criteria for certain studio and one-bedroom units.
Bedford Green House Phase II is a pet-friendly development featuring WIFI in common areas, a gym, a community center, a recreation room, a children’s playroom, an outdoor terrace, a package locker room, and gated access, as per the listing on Housing Connect.
