Apply now for fresh new affordable apartments in Mott Haven starting at $617 for a one-bedroom

There is now an opportunity to apply for affordable apartments in a brand new development in Mott Haven.

Betances VI Family Apartments is situated at 405 E 146th Street, specifically at Willis Avenue. This housing project was built on NYCHA property, which is a component of the larger Betances Houses in Mott Haven. The development involved tearing down a scarcely used one-story commercial building in order to make room for the construction of a 15-story residential building comprising 103 units.

The development, being built on NYCHA land, prioritizes applicants from within NYCHA. Additionally, it reserves several units for those who qualify for Section 8 and offers a number of units with deep affordability.

The development is conveniently situated a few blocks away from The Hub and the 2 and 5 subway stop at 3rd Avenue and 149th Street. It also benefits from easy access to several bus lines that serve the surrounding area.

In addition to the usual features like shared laundry rooms and on-site security guards, Betances VI provides residents with a range of exceptional amenities. These include a community center, a children’s playroom, lush green spaces with an outdoor terrace, and a secure bike storage locker room.

Available apartments offer a range of options for potential tenants. One-bedroom units start as low as $617 per month, while two-bedroom apartments are available for $728 per month. These affordable rates are specifically for households that qualify for 30% of the Area Median Income (AMI). Additionally, there are one, two, and three-bedroom apartments available for households eligible for Section 8.
