Rent-stabilized studio apartments for rent near M34A-SBS Waterside - Port Authority Terminal in Hell's Kitchen, Manhattan

It means the apartment is in a regulated category with rules on rent increases and renewals. It does not remove the need to check the actual lease, apartment history, or building policies.

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

This page is not using the affordable filter. For Openigloo affordable pages, the threshold is the 25th percentile of gross rents within the page’s scope, so it captures the lower-priced part of that market rather than official affordable housing.

The 76+ count shows current inventory, while the $4,122 median rent gives a quick sense of the center of the market for these rent-stabilized studios. For studio budgeting, also plan for utilities and move-in costs, since asking rent is only part of the total monthly outlay.

In this latest snapshot, East Village has 225+ apartments for rent, Hell's Kitchen has 388+ apartments for rent, Stuyvesant Town/PCV has 268+ apartments for rent, Kips Bay has 221+ apartments for rent, and Yorkville has 196+ apartments for rent.

Confirm the legal rent status, whether the unit is actually rent-stabilized, what the renewal terms are, and whether the apartment has any fees or requirements that could change your monthly cost.

Location near transit, building age, amenities, lease terms, and added fees all affect total cost. A lower asking rent can still become expensive once utilities, deposits, and broker fees are included.
