This is NYCHA public housing. Applications are not made directly to a landlord — they go through the NYC Housing Authority waitlist via the NYCHA Self-Service Portal.

About Polo Grounds Towers

Polo Grounds Towers is a NYCHA development built in 1968 on the site of the former Polo Grounds stadium (home of the New York Giants baseball team until 1957). The development consists of four 30-story towers containing 1,614 apartments, between West 155th Street and West 159th Street.

Apartment sizes range from one-bedroom to four-bedroom units. Heat, hot water, gas, and electric are included in the rent.

How to apply

NYCHA public housing applications go through a single citywide waitlist:

  1. Visit the NYCHA Self-Service Portal and create an account
  2. Complete the public housing application — you can rank up to five development preferences (Polo Grounds Towers can be listed)
  3. The waitlist is currently open for select household types; check current status at nycha.info
  4. Once you reach the top of the waitlist for a matching unit, NYCHA contacts you for an interview and apartment offer

Rent is calculated as 30% of your adjusted household income — there is no flat asking rent. Households earning at or below 80% of NYC Area Median Income (AMI) qualify; preference points are given to working families, veterans, and those in emergency situations.

Neighborhood

The 155th Street area has the B, D, and 1 subway lines, the Polo Grounds-Macombs Bridge connection to the Bronx, and walking distance to Yankee Stadium, Harlem River Park, and the Hispanic Society Museum. Central Harlem is one of Manhattan''s most established voucher-accepting neighborhoods, with active tenant organizations and proximity to the HRA Harlem Job Center and multiple legal aid offices.
