Based on the latest 2024 census data, the figures above show the local median earnings for this area. Management will generally require your household income to be at or below 50% of these median figures.
HUD's Small Area Fair Market Rent, or SAFMR, is a ZIP-code-based fair market rent estimate. It can help you compare what different bedroom sizes may cost in this area.
| Bedroom | 90% | SAFMR | 110% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio | $918 | $1,020 | $1,122 |
| 1 BR | $1,044 | $1,160 | $1,276 |
| 2 BR | $1,215 | $1,350 | $1,485 |
| 3 BR | $1,575 | $1,750 | $1,925 |
| 4 BR | $1,926 | $2,140 | $2,354 |
These values are only a comparison tool. They do not replace the property's actual rent, and they do not guarantee what you will pay unless your program uses SAFMR directly.

LIHTC properties are required by law to remain affordable for a minimum of 30 years from the date they were placed in service (Brownstone apts was placed in service around 2013, so rent restrictions are secured at least until ~2043).

According to HFA records, this LIHTC property is specifically designated to serve families. This means it may have specialized services, accessible units, or preference policies that prioritize these groups. Contact management to understand their current preference and waitlist selection process — being in a designated group does not guarantee priority without a formal application.
