Rent-stabilized studio apartments for rent in All Upper Manhattan

It means the apartment is in a regulated category with limits on certain rent increases and renewal terms. It does not mean the unit is income-restricted or free of move-in costs.

There are 38+ apartments for rent in this scope right now, with a median rent of $3,025.

No. Rent-stabilized on Openigloo is a regulatory status, not an official affordable-housing program. It can affect rent increases and renewals, but it is not the same as income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, or lottery housing.

The filter tells you the unit is regulated. The asking rent is still the monthly price you will pay, and you should still check fees, utilities, deposit, and any broker fee before deciding.

For studio apartments, the unit count, median rent, and bedroom count work together to shape your options. A studio at a lower rent may still have limited space, so factor in storage, layout, and total move-in cost, not just the asking rent.

Confirm renewal rules, lease length, any required documentation, and whether the unit has fees or restrictions that affect the full monthly cost. For studios, also check the sleeping area and kitchen setup.

Openigloo lets you compare current apartments for rent with building and landlord review signals, so you can look beyond the asking rent and review patterns that may matter after move-in.
