Affordable Apartments Available In Brooklyn For As Little As $367

BROOKLYN, NY — More than 150 apartments have hit the affordable housing lottery, including a development for those making as little as $15,000 per year.

The two new buildings — found on Dumont Avenue in Brownsville and Rogers Avenue in Flatbush — will stay open for applications through the Department of Housing Preservation and Development until late January or early February.

The most affordable options can be found in the Dumont Avenue building, known as the Van Dyke III development. Here, there are 125 studio, one, two and three bedroom apartments up for grabs.

The apartments are grouped for those making between 30 and 60 percent of the area median income.

On the lower end, that means $367 monthly rent for a studio, $475 rent for a one-bedroom, $575 for a two-bedroom and $658 for a three-bedroom. Units reserved for the higher income bracket will go for $837 per month for a studio, $1,058 per month for a one-bedroom, $1,280 per month for the two-bedroom and $1,472 per month for a three-bedroom.

A percentage of these apartments are set aside for those with mobility, vision or hearing disabilities or New York City Housing Authority residents.

The building comes with several amenities, including a gym, outdoor terrace, rooftop terrace and recreation room, according to the listing.

The Rogers Avenue building, on the other hand, will go to those making 130 percent of the area median income.

That means its seven studio units, nine one-bedroom spots and 16 two-bedroom spots require upwards of a $61,000 salary.

The studio apartments will cost $1,800 per month, the one-bedrooms $2,000 per month and the two-bedrooms $2,400 per month.

This building also includes a rooftop terrace, shared laundry room and one free month of rent applied to the initial lease, according to the listing.

The developments join several other Brooklyn buildings that are currently on the city's affordable housing lottery, including about 170 units that were added late last month in East New York and East Flatbush.
