Rent-stabilized studio apartments for rent near SIM26 Tottenville - Midtown Manhattan Express in Chelsea, Manhattan

It means the apartments shown are tagged as rent-stabilized, a regulatory category with limits on certain rent increases and renewal protections. It is not the same as affordable housing or a subsidy program.

No. Openigloo’s rent-stabilized filter is not an official affordable-housing program. It only surfaces apartments tagged as rent-stabilized, so you still need to review the lease, legal rent, and renewal terms.

It helps you focus on smaller apartments where monthly budgeting matters, especially when the rent is $5,555 and the studio layout, commute, and renewal terms all affect the real cost of living there.

Confirm the legal rent status, whether the unit is actually stabilized, any broker fee, deposit, move-in charges, and whether the studio layout works for sleeping, storage, and cooking in one room.
