Nearby rent estimates
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 | $1,233 | $1,370 | $1,507 |
| 1 BR | $1,350 | $1,500 | $1,650 |

| 3 BR | $2,097 | $2,330 | $2,563 |
| 4 BR | $2,448 | $2,720 | $2,992 |
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.

How do Tax Credit Apartments work?
Northview apartments is a Low Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) apartment community in San Antonio, Texas. 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 San Antonio. Based on 2024 data, the local AMI for the 78258 zip code is $110,518 for a single person and $157,884 for a 4-person household. These figures make San Antonio tax credit apartments among the most affordable rentals available without a Section 8 voucher.
To qualify, your total household income must fall at or below the income limit set for this property — currently 60% AMGI of AMI. That works out to approximately $94,730/yr for a 4-person household in the 78258 area. Unlike public housing, LIHTC income-restricted apartments are privately managed and require you to apply directly to the property. Rent is fixed at a discounted rate tied to AMI — not to your specific income — so your monthly payment stays predictable.
By law, LIHTC properties must remain rent-restricted for a minimum of 30 years. Northview apartments was placed in service around 2022, keeping rents income-restricted at least through ~2022.
