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 | $1,215 | $1,350 | $1,485 |
| 1 BR | $1,269 | $1,410 | $1,551 |
| 2 BR | $1,395 | $1,550 | $1,705 |
| 3 BR | $1,719 | $1,910 | $2,101 |
| 4 BR | $2,178 | $2,420 | $2,662 |
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.

Greenwood west apts is a Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) apartment community in Monroe, North Carolina. LIHTC properties — also called Section 42 housing or tax credit apartments — are income-restricted rentals developed with federal tax credits administered by state Housing Finance Agencies (HFAs). Qualifying residents pay rent based on a percentage of the Area Median Income (AMI) for Monroe. Based on 2024 data, the local AMI for the 28110 zip code is $64,350 for a single person and $91,929 for a 4-person household.

Unlike public housing, LIHTC income-restricted apartments are privately managed and require you to apply directly to the property.

By law, LIHTC properties must remain rent-restricted for a minimum of 30 years. Greenwood west apts was placed in service around 1988, keeping rents income-restricted at least through ~1988.
You must be of qualifying age. Your income must fall within HUD's Area Median Income (AMI) limits for Monroe. Based on the 28110 zip code AMI (2024), this property's 50% income limit is approximately $32,175/yr for 1 person / $45,965/yr for a 4-person household.

LIHTC properties are required by law to remain affordable for a minimum of 30 years from the date they were placed in service (Greenwood west apts was placed in service around 1988, so rent restrictions are secured at least until ~2018). After that period, the owner can choose to exit the program or renew. Ask management about the property's current compliance end date.
Yes. HFA records classify this as a new construction LIHTC property, meaning units were purpose-built as affordable housing rather than converted from existing stock. New construction properties often feature modern layouts and energy-efficient systems. It's worth asking management about the age of appliances and any known maintenance issues before applying.
HUD records indicate this property may no longer be actively monitored under the LIHTC compliance program (reason: 1). This does not necessarily mean it is market-rate — some properties voluntarily maintain affordability after the compliance period ends. Call management directly to confirm the current rent structure and any remaining income restrictions.
