Studio apartments are best for solo renters who don't need a separate bedroom and want the simplest, most budget-efficient setup for a given neighborhood.
1-bedroom apartments are ideal if you want true separation between sleep and daily life — great for couples, light work-from-home, or anyone who values privacy.
2-bedroom apartments are the go-to for roommates or anyone who wants a dedicated office/guest room without jumping to a much larger home.
3-bedroom apartments are typically for families or established roommate groups who want long-term stability and more functional space.
Verified apartments have confirmed availability and you can apply to these apartments directly on openigloo. Use this as your "high-confidence" starting set before you narrow further by budget, bedrooms, or neighborhood.
Top-rated buildings are highly reviewed and rated 4+ stars by past and current renters. Apartments in these buildings are for renters optimizing for the overall living experience rather than just the unit itself.

What to check before for apartments in NYC
- Start with the neighborhood count if you need a commute target, since inventory changes quickly across NYC.
- Use the median rent of $4,900 as a quick budget check, then compare individual apartments for rent against your full monthly cost.
- Review building feedback on Openigloo to look for issues tied to noise, maintenance, or management before touring.
- Compare neighborhood options like East Village, Hell's Kitchen, Yorkville, Lenox Hill, and Flatbush if you want a broader search area.
- Confirm fees, deposits, utilities, and lease terms before applying, since asking rent does not equal total monthly cost.
