If you are a single woman, why are you looking at the 2 bedroom,
For the 1 bedroom is 65k
for the 2 bedroom is 75k

[SIZE=1][LEFT]5 One Bedroom units are affordable to households earning up to 175% of the Area Median Income, adjusted for Household Size. The minimum annual household income for eligible purchasers for these units is estimated to be $65,000.00 assuming a 5% down payment with a maximum eligible annual household income of $107,450.00. There is a 2 person maximum occupancy allowance for the one bedroom units.[/LEFT]
[/SIZE]

I must have read the minimum incomes wrong.

It would be a pretty tight squeeze for someone making 65k a year to afford the 275k (expected, it may be higher) one-bedroom. With 10% down and $200 a month in maintenance (average for a new condo), that's around $1800 a month.

My husband and I make more and couldn't swing that per month. But then again, we have lovely student loans to pay.

Student Loans..... I certainly understand that hassle.
