Rent-stabilized studio apartments for rent near 6 Train in Fulton/Seaport, Manhattan

It means the apartment is tagged as rent-stabilized, a regulatory category tied to limits on certain rent increases and renewal protections. It does not mean the rent is low, and the full lease terms still matter.

No. Rent-stabilized on Openigloo is not the same as income-restricted housing, subsidized housing, a housing-lottery unit, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8. It is a market regulation category, not a public affordability program.

This page does not use the affordable filter. If you see affordable elsewhere on Openigloo, it is a market-relative filter based on the 25th percentile of gross rents in the page’s scope, not an official housing program.

With 26+ studio apartments for rent and a median rent of $4,639, the unit count and price level together show how tight your budget may need to be. For studios, also factor in layout tradeoffs and the full monthly cost beyond asking rent.

Ask about broker fees, security deposit, application fees, income requirements, and any lease renewal rules. Even in rent-stabilized buildings, these charges and conditions can still affect move-in costs.

In this scope, the most active neighborhoods include Hell's Kitchen with 388+ apartments for rent, Stuyvesant Town/PCV with 268+ apartments for rent, East Village with 225+ apartments for rent, Kips Bay with 221+ apartments for rent, and Yorkville with 196+ apartments for rent.

Check the walk to the station, noise, and the studio’s storage and kitchen setup. In a small layout, where you place the bed, desk, and closet can matter as much as the rent.
