Openigloo sets it from the 25th percentile of gross rents for the Manhattan borough — the cheaper roughly 25% of asking rents in that scope — then clamps it to a safe floor and ceiling so it stays realistic.

Rent-stabilized apartments have regulated rent increases and renewal protections, but they can still come with building rules, lease conditions, and paperwork requirements. Always confirm the unit's status and lease terms before applying.

Because fees, utilities, deposits, and possible broker fees can add to the monthly or move-in cost. A unit with a rent under $5,000 can still be expensive once those costs are included.

Compare the 3-bedroom asking rent against the $4,183 median rent, then factor in how many roommates will share the unit, the location, building age, amenities, and lease terms. Those details can change both monthly cost and move-in total.
