What a difference a year makes - last summer, construction was just beginning on Bedford Arms, an affordable housing complex planned for a once-vacant corner lot. Now construction is winding down and an affordable lottery has been announced for the apartments within.
Individuals and households earning between 40 and 165 percent of the area median income ($22,800-$204,270/year) have until September 13, 2019 to apply for 93 one- through three-bedroom apartments. Rents range from $590/month for one-bedrooms to $3,060/month for three-bedrooms. As the median Crown Heights rent ranges from $2,400/month for one-bedrooms to $3,250/month for three-bedrooms (per CityRealty data), this offers quite a bargain.

Building amenities will include video intercom, exercise room, bike room, laundry room, and roof deck. Bedford Arms is only two blocks from the Nostrand Avenue Metro North stop and a short walk from the Franklin Avenue subway stop. Closer to home, its location on the cusp of Bedford-Stuyvesant and Crown Heights puts it near several popular local restaurants and bars.
