Rent-stabilized 3-bedroom apartments for rent near M103 East Harlem - City Hall in NYC

It means the apartments are tagged as rent-stabilized, a regulatory category that can limit some rent increases and affect renewal rights. It is not the same as affordable housing or a subsidy program.

This page does not use the affordable filter. If you see affordable elsewhere on Openigloo, it is a market-relative filter based on the lower end of asking rents in that page’s scope, not an official housing program.

No. Rent-stabilized apartments are not income-restricted, subsidized, or housing-lottery housing. They are a regulatory category with rules around rent increases and renewals, but the asking rent is still market-based.

With 127+ apartments for rent and a median rent of $8,320, room-sharing can help lower the per-person cost, but you still need to account for the full rent, utilities, deposits, and any broker or application fees.

Ask for the rent history, renewal terms, whether the unit is currently stabilized, and any fee requirements. Also confirm whether the lease allows roommates or guarantors if you plan to share the apartment.

In this scope, East Village has 225+ apartments for rent, Hell's Kitchen has 388+ apartments for rent, Downtown Brooklyn has 312+ apartments for rent, Flatbush has 289+ apartments for rent, and Stuyvesant Town/PCV has 268+ apartments for rent. These counts are current inventory snapshots, not a recommendation.

Rent-stabilized units can still come with building rules, lease terms, and documentation requirements. Check for application fees, security deposit limits, roommate rules, and any lease language that could affect renewal or move-in timing.
