Affordable rent-stabilized apartments for rent in All Upper West Side

It means the apartments for rent shown here meet both filters: they are rent-stabilized and fall at or below the market-relative affordability threshold for this scope, with asking rents up to $4,700/month.

No. Affordable on Openigloo is a market-relative filter, not an official affordable-housing designation. It selects apartments with asking rents at or below the 25th percentile of gross rents for this scope, not income-restricted, subsidized, lottery, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8 housing.

Openigloo sets the threshold using the 25th percentile of gross rents for the All Upper West Side scope in Manhattan, then clamps it to a safe floor and ceiling so the filter stays realistic. Here, that ceiling is $4,700/month.

The monthly total can change after fees, utilities, deposits, and any broker fee are added. A rent-stabilized unit can still have move-in costs or lease terms that affect the real budget.

Confirm the current legal rent, renewal terms, any rider or addendum, fees, and whether the unit has move-in charges or deposit requirements. Ask for the details in writing before you commit.

Location within All Upper West Side, building age, amenities, and lease terms all change the real monthly cost. A lower asking rent can still be expensive after utilities, deposits, or fees.

The most common apartment sizes are 1-bedrooms and 2-bedrooms, so budget planning should account for how those unit types compare against the 149+ apartments for rent in this scope.
