A new affordable housing lottery has launched in the Bronx—and the rents truly have to be seen to be believed.
Located in Mott Haven, Haven Court Apartments is a newly constructed, 129-unit residential development offering a broad range of affordability.
🏠 Inside Haven Court
These units are sleek, modern, and packed with a list of perks that rival high-end luxury developments. Residents can enjoy a landscaped rooftop terrace for golden hour views or find their zen in the tranquil interior courtyard.
For those who prioritize wellness and productivity, the building features an on-site fitness center, two resident lounges, and, perhaps best of all, free high-speed internet to keep you connected.
The convenience continues with a secure package room, bicycle storage, a virtual doorman, and a pet-friendly policy that ensures your four-legged roommates feel right at home.
✅ Rents And Elligibility
The lottery stands out for its financial accessibility, with rents spanning multiple Area Median Income (AMI) tiers. At the lowest end, studio apartments start at just $545 per month for households earning between $22,492 and $34,020 annually.
For larger households or higher earners, two-bedroom units are available for up to $2,571 per month for households earning as much as $157,500. All rents include heat and hot water; residents are responsible for electricity and electric stove usage.
50% of the units are given preference for current residents of Bronx Community Board 1, while 5% are set aside for NYC municipal employees. The project also prioritizes inclusivity by reserving 25 units specifically for seniors aged 62 and older within the 30% and 50% AMI tiers.
Additionally, a percentage of apartments are dedicated to applicants with mobility, vision, or hearing impairments to ensure that high-quality, accessible housing is available to those who need it most.
