A gorgeous new affordable housing lottery has just landed in Brooklyn, with units as low as $1,090 for a one-bedroom.
Rising at 556 Baltic Street in the heart of Gowanus, this new 11-story mixed-use building brings 92 fresh residences to the neighborhood, including 23 affordable homes, now available to apply for through NYC Housing Connect.
With eligibility spanning households earning 40% to 100% of the area median income, New Yorkers making anywhere from $40,595 to $175,000 now have a shot at calling this stylish Brooklyn address home.
Inside, the perks stack up fast: think bike storage, a fully equipped gym, a party room built for birthdays or late-night hangs, a polished business center, a cheerful kids’ playroom, plenty of storage, and a rooftop terrace that practically begs for sunset lounging.
Each residence comes ready to impress with in-unit washers and dryers, air conditioning, smart climate controls, and private patios or balconies. Just note that tenants are responsible for their own electricity, including the stove and heat.
The building is a dream for pet lovers. Furry friends are more than welcome thanks to the pet-friendly policies, and they’ll surely enjoy all of the outdoor space the apartment has to offer. In addition to the large rooftop terrace, each residency is equipped with either a patio or balcony. But that’s not all, the building also features a dog park on site and a dog washing station, making sure that your four-legged friends live in as much comfort and style as possible.
