Rent-stabilized studio apartments for rent near M11 Riverbank Park & Harlem - West Village in Chelsea, Manhattan

It means the apartments for rent are in a regulated category with limits on certain rent increases and renewal protections. It does not change the need to review the actual lease, current asking rent, and building conditions.

No. Rent-stabilized on Openigloo is not the same as income-restricted housing, subsidized housing, housing-lottery units, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8. It is a market-regulated category, not an official affordable-housing program.

Rent-stabilized describes the unit’s regulatory status, while the asking rent is the current monthly price. You still need to check fees, utilities, and lease terms to understand the real monthly cost.

This page is not using Openigloo's affordable filter. If you are comparing filters, Openigloo's affordable threshold is based on the 25th percentile of gross rents within the page’s scope, not on income limits or a housing program.

With studios, the layout matters a lot: sleeping area, kitchen setup, storage, and whether there is only one bathroom. A good floor plan can matter more than square footage alone.

Confirm the current rent, whether the unit is truly rent-stabilized, any broker fee or deposit, pet rules if relevant, and what utilities you will pay each month.

The 30+ apartments for rent shows current inventory, while the $4,814 median rent gives a rough budget anchor for this scope. For studios, the median can help you decide whether a unit is priced in line with the broader pool or sitting above it.
