Rent-stabilized 2-bedroom apartments for rent near SIM10 Eltingville - Midtown Manhattan Express in Hudson Yards, Manhattan

It means the apartments are tagged as rent-stabilized, a regulatory category tied to limits on certain rent increases and renewal protections. It is not the same as affordable housing or income-restricted housing.

No. Rent-stabilized on Openigloo is a regulatory filter, not an official affordable-housing program. These apartments are still market rentals, so the asking rent, lease terms, and move-in costs still matter.

Affordable on Openigloo is a market-relative filter based on asking rents, while rent-stabilized refers to a separate regulatory status. A rent-stabilized apartment can still be priced at a market rate and should be reviewed on its own terms.

This page does not use the affordable filter. If you were looking at an affordable page, Openigloo would use the 25th percentile of gross rents for that page’s scope, with a safe floor and ceiling to keep the result realistic.

Check the total monthly cost, whether both bedrooms fit your needs, any broker fee, deposit, and utility setup, plus whether the lease allows roommates or guarantors. In a 2-bedroom search, the rent and bedroom count should be weighed together for budget planning.

Location near transit, building age, amenities, and lease terms all affect value. In this scope, the median rent is $8,081, so the same asking rent can feel very different once fees, utilities, and move-in costs are included.

Current trending neighborhoods in this broader scope 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.
