Renting With HASA in Concourse, Bronx: 2026 Guide

The 2026 HASA rent cap for a three-bedroom in the Bronx sits at $3,811. That number is the ceiling. Every landlord you approach, every listing you pull up, needs to land at or below it for your voucher to cover the unit. In Concourse right now, the active inventory is small, and all of it is three-bedroom stock, so that cap is the only one that matters for this search.

What the Concourse Market Looks Like Right Now

There are 3 active HASA listings in Concourse as of this writing. The median rent is $3,600, the minimum is $2,450, and the maximum is $3,600. Every listing is a three-bedroom. That's the entire picture: One is a studio, Two are 3-bedrooms.

Two listings is not a market. It's a waiting room. That doesn't mean Concourse is the wrong neighborhood for you, but it does mean you can't afford to be passive. Listings at this volume turn over fast, and new ones don't appear on a schedule. Browse HASA apartments in Concourse and set up alerts so you're not checking manually every day.

The median rent here is below the $3,811 three-bedroom cap, which is the right direction. A landlord listing above the cap would need to come down to make the unit work with your voucher. A landlord listing at or below it is ready to go, assuming the unit passes inspection.

The Neighborhood: Concourse in Practice

Concourse sits in the western Bronx, anchored by the Grand Concourse boulevard and bounded by zip code 10452. The 161 St-Yankee Stadium station connects you to both the D Train and the 4 Train, which means two separate lines into Manhattan. For HASA clients who have regular medical appointments or need to reach the HRA office on 109th Street, that transit access is real and practical.

The neighborhood is dense and residential. Grand Concourse itself has Art Deco buildings that predate most of the rest of the borough's housing stock. The side streets off the Concourse vary considerably, block by block. Before you commit to a unit, walk the specific block, not just the avenue. A building on Gerard Ave and a building on the Concourse itself can feel like different neighborhoods even when they share a zip code.

School District 7 covers most of Concourse. If you have children, that's the district you'd be enrolling in. Worth knowing before you sign.

HASA Rent Caps for 2026: The Full Picture

HASA rent limits are set by NYC HRA and apply borough-wide, not neighborhood by neighborhood. For the Bronx in 2026, the caps are:

• Studio: $2,646
• One-bedroom: $2,762
• Two-bedroom: $3,058
• Three-bedroom: $3,811
• Four-bedroom: $4,111

All current Concourse listings are three-bedrooms, so the $3,811 cap is your operative number. If you're open to a different bedroom size, the caps above apply, but you'd need to look beyond Concourse's current inventory since there are no studios, one-bedrooms, two-bedrooms, or four-bedrooms listed there right now.

Landlords don't always know the current caps. Some are working off last year's numbers, some have no idea what HASA pays at all. When you contact a landlord, come with the current cap in hand. The NYC HRA HASA program page is the authoritative source for program rules and can back up what you're telling them.

Sample Listings in Concourse

These are the active HASA listings in Concourse as of the data pull for this post. Inventory changes, so verify availability before reaching out.

• 3BR listed at $3,600, 1 bath
• Studio listed at $2,450, 1 bath
• 3BR listed at $3,600, 1 bath

Both listings are three-bedrooms with one bathroom. If you need more than one bathroom or a different bedroom count, you'll need to look at the broader Bronx inventory. HASA apartments across the Bronx will give you a wider pool.

When to Expand Your Search

Two listings means you should already be looking at comparable neighborhoods. South Bronx, Mott Haven, Hunts Point, and Morrisania are all reasonable alternatives. They're geographically close, served by overlapping transit lines, and have historically had more HASA-accepting landlords than Concourse's current count suggests.

Expanding doesn't mean giving up on Concourse. It means running parallel searches so you're not waiting on one or two units to become available. Use the voucher eligibility tool to confirm your bedroom size and income situation before you start contacting landlords in any of these neighborhoods, because the caps are the same across the Bronx but landlord familiarity with HASA varies a lot.

One practical note: HASA requires landlord participation and unit inspection before a lease is signed. That process takes time. Start it earlier than you think you need to. A landlord who agrees to list at the cap still needs to get through the approval process, and delays there have nothing to do with the rent amount.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the HASA rent cap for a three-bedroom in Concourse in 2026?

The 2026 HASA rent cap for a three-bedroom in the Bronx is $3,811. Any landlord listing above that number won't be covered by the voucher unless they're willing to lower the rent. Use the rent analyzer to check any specific unit before you schedule a showing.

Does HASA work the same way as Section 8 or CityFHEPS?

No. HASA, administered by NYC HRA, is specifically for New Yorkers living with HIV/AIDS. It has its own rent caps, its own approval process, and its own case management structure. The rent limits listed here apply to HASA specifically and don't cross over to Section 8 or CityFHEPS programs.

Why are there so few HASA listings in Concourse right now?

Concourse is a small, defined pocket of the Bronx, and HASA-accepting landlords are not evenly distributed across the borough. With only 3 active listings at the moment, the inventory is genuinely tight. Expanding your search to comparable neighborhoods like Mott Haven, Morrisania, or South Bronx will give you more options while keeping you in a similar rent range.

Can a landlord charge more than the HASA cap if I pay the difference?

HASA has strict rules about tenant contributions above the approved rent. You should confirm the current policy directly with your HASA case manager before agreeing to any arrangement where you'd be paying out of pocket above the cap. Don't sign anything until that conversation happens.

What subway lines serve Concourse?

The D Train and 4 Train both run through the neighborhood. The 161 St-Yankee Stadium station is the main hub. From there you can reach Midtown Manhattan in under 30 minutes on the 4, which matters if your medical appointments or HRA office visits are in Manhattan.
