Rent-stabilized studio apartments for rent near Astoria Route in NYC

It means the apartment is in a regulatory category with limits on certain rent increases and renewal protections. It does not remove the need to check the lease, fees, and unit condition.

There are 286+ apartments for rent, and the page’s median rent is $4,141.

No. Rent-stabilized is a market regulation category, not an official affordable-housing program. It does not mean the apartment is income-restricted, subsidized, lottery housing, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8.

Openigloo uses the filter to surface apartments that are labeled as rent-stabilized in the data. You should still confirm the status in the lease or with the landlord before applying.

Ask about the full monthly cost, including utilities, broker fee, deposit, and any other move-in charges. Also confirm renewal terms, document requirements, and whether the studio layout fits your setup.

Studios can be easier to compare than larger units, but the median rent of $4,141 still leaves little room once you add fees and monthly utilities. Space planning matters too, especially if you need separate sleeping, kitchen, and storage areas.

Openigloo lets you review building and landlord feedback alongside the rent-stabilized filter so you can check for maintenance issues, management patterns, and move-in surprises before touring.
