Rent-stabilized 1-bedroom apartments for rent near M Train in Chelsea, Manhattan

It means the apartments are marked as rent-stabilized, so rent increases and renewals are subject to regulation. It does not mean the unit is lower priced by default, and it does not remove the need to review the lease and building details.

There are 29+ apartments for rent on this page, with a median rent of $7,285. That gives you a current sense of supply and the typical asking rent for this search.

No. Rent-stabilized is a regulatory category, not an official affordable-housing program. These apartments are not the same as income-restricted, subsidized, housing-lottery, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8 units.

The page is built from apartments flagged as rent-stabilized within this search scope, not from an income rule or lottery process. You should still verify the unit’s status, lease terms, and any renewal language with the broker or landlord.

Compare the asking rent, building reviews, lease terms, and total move-in cost. For a 1-bedroom search, the unit count and median rent matter because they show how much competition and budget pressure you should expect in this scope.

Ask about broker fees, security deposit, utilities, move-in charges, and any building rules that affect pets, guarantors, or lease length. Rent-stabilized status does not prevent extra fees or strict application requirements.

Openigloo adds renter-first context like building and landlord reviews, plus filters for rent-stabilized apartments, bedroom count, and transit proximity. That helps you compare apartments for rent beyond the posted asking rent.
