Rent-stabilized 1-bedroom apartments for rent near W Train in East Village, Manhattan

It means the apartment is tagged as rent-stabilized, which usually points to regulated rent increases and renewal protections. It is not the same as affordable housing, and you should still read the lease carefully.

No. Openigloo's rent-stabilized filter is a regulatory category, not an income-based housing program. These apartments are not automatically income-restricted, subsidized, lottery units, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8 housing.

Rent-stabilized describes a rent-regulation status. Affordable housing on Openigloo is a market-relative filter based on asking rents, not an official affordable-housing designation. A unit can be rent-stabilized without being income-restricted.

This page does not use the affordable filter. In general, Openigloo sets affordable using the 25th percentile of gross rents for the page's scope, then applies a guardrail so the threshold stays realistic.

The median rent is $4,495, which gives you a quick sense of the typical asking rent in this search. For 1-bedroom apartments, that number helps you compare whether a unit is priced above or below the current center of the market.

Check the full monthly cost, including utilities, broker fee, security deposit, and any move-in charges. For rent-stabilized units, also confirm renewal terms, any legal rent history the agent can provide, and whether the lease matches the advertised status.

Location near the W Train, building age, amenities, and lease terms can all change your real monthly cost. A lower asking rent can still become expensive once fees, utilities, and deposits are added.
