A housing lottery has just been launched at the highly coveted Stuyvesant Town/Peter Cooper Village for New Yorkers earning 165% of the area median income. Households earning $89,250-$154,935/year are eligible to apply for one-bedroom apartments starting at $2,975/month, and households earning $110,850-$185,955/year are eligible to apply for two-bedroom homes starting at $3,695/month.

The deadline to apply is April 3, 2019.

It is no surprise that the downtown complex in what has been described as "downtown's answer to Central Park" is in high demand. The spacious apartments have recently been renovated, and amenities include 24-hour on-site property manager and security, laundry room, cafe, children’s playroom, outdoor space with playgrounds and sports courts, and fitness center with cardio, weights, and group classes. The complex hosts an ice rink in winter months and weekly greenmarket in summer months. Stuyvesant Town serves as an oasis from the bustle of New York’s grid, yet is located a short walk from the L train and several bus stops.
