Lottery Opens for New Affordable Apartments at W. 38th Street

Those looking for an affordable apartment in Midtown — not to mention access to a music jam room — can turn to a new building on West 39th Street in Hudson Yards.

The city's Housing Connect website began taking applications for the new 30-story, 225-unit building on Thursday. There will be 46 units up for grabs in the lottery, with applications accepted until Oct. 4.

Of the 46 affordable units, 15 are studios, 25 are one-bedrooms and six are two-bedrooms. But before you rush to apply, you do have to qualify for certain annual income brackets.

The 15 studios will cost you a very reasonable $913 per month, but only if you are a single person earning between $32,640 and $38,100 annually.

There will be 25 one-bedrooms going for $980 per month, if you are a single person making $34,972 to $38,100 annually or a two-person household making $34,972 to $43,500.

The six two-bedrooms cost $1,183 per month and a two-person household must make between $41,966 and $43,500, a three-person household must make between $41,966 and $48,960, and a four-person household must make $41,966 to $54,360 annually.

The building boasts a 24-hour attended lobby, on-site manager, gym, music jam room, resident lounge and roof deck.

Fifty person of the units will go to people who already live in Community Board 4, which encompasses Chelsea, Hudson Yards and Hell's Kitchen.
