Hudson Yards Affordable Housing Lottery Lists Luxury Units At Unbelievable Prices
“How many times can we talk about NYC rent?” Well, with it being 164% above the average American rent and it raising 7x faster than wages, I think we can complain about it as long as we keep paying for our shoeboxes, dammit! However, NYC does offer a select amount of affordable housing opportunities thanks to the New York City Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) and Housing Development Corporation (HDC). Various housing lotteries provide residents with the chance to live in beautiful and spacious apartments for a fraction of what they normally would cost—and one in Hudson Yards just opened up! To be considered “affordable,” the cost of housing must technically be a third or below a resident’s income. And even for New Yorkers making the city’s average salary, less than 5% of NYC rents are affordable. The Hudson Yards lottery is eligible for New Yorkers with an income between $59,280 – $209,625. The tower tops 46 stories high at 550 10th Avenue. Complete with a rooftop sky lounge, resident fitness club and co-working spaces, let’s just say winners we’ll be more than pleased with the amenities. Not to mention, the building is pet-friendly!
