A new housing lottery has opened for a brand new and truly affordable housing development in the Port Morris area of the South Bronx.
Called The Willow, which is being developed by JCAL Development Group, the 112 unit building is located at 750 E 134th Street and Willow Avenue just steps away from the Randall’s Island Connector to the 512 acre park.
In recent years, the area has witnessed an influx of luxury housing units that are far beyond the financial means of most residents in the community. By addressing this disparity, the project seeks to support the local residents and enhance the overall affordability of the neighborhood.
Monthly rents at The Willow begin as low as $410 for studios, $521 for one-bedrooms, $615 for two-bedrooms, and $701 for three bedrooms for qualifying households that make 30% of the Area Median Income which ranges from $17,006 to $52,530 depending on household size.
Residents will have access to several amenities like package lockers, bike storage lockers, storage rooms on each floor, a shared laundry room, and a rooftop view with stunning views of The Bronx and Manhattan skylines. One of the best features of the apartments is that they all have their own heating and cooling units.
