A waiting list is opening up for below-market apartments at a mixed-income complex near Columbus Circle, and housing lottery applications are now available for discounted units in another mixed-income building up in East Harlem.

At One Columbus Place, two blocks from the circle, the wait list is open for studios, one bedrooms, and two bedrooms, reserved for households making $72,500-$124,000. The apartments start at $2,116 for a studio.

Close to 150 of the building's 700 units are income-restricted, and the rest are market-rate. Note: Back in 2012, the New York Post reported that tenants paying high rents blamed their lower-income neighbors for the smell of marijuana smoke and litter in the halls.

Uptown, at 230 East 124th St., five apartments in a 20-unit building are available. The units are studios and one- and two-bedrooms, starting at $867. They're reserved for households making $29,700-$57,200.

StreetEasy reports that the building has bike storage and a terrace.
