Rent-stabilized 1-bedroom apartments for rent near W Train in Kips Bay, Manhattan

It means the apartments are filtered for rent-stabilized units, which are regulated housing with limits on certain rent increases and renewal terms. It is not the same as affordable housing based on income.

No. Rent-stabilized on Openigloo is a regulatory category, not an income-restricted or subsidized program. These apartments for rent are selected because they are rent-stabilized, not because they are part of NYCHA, Section 8, HPD, or a housing lottery.

The filter tells you about regulation, while the $5,162 median rent gives you a market snapshot for this page. A unit can be rent-stabilized and still have a rent that is above or below your budget.

With 47+ apartments for rent and a $5,162 median rent, the amount of choice is limited compared with broader searches. For a 1-bedroom, it helps to weigh rent against space, commute, and total move-in costs before you narrow down options.

Confirm the legal rent, renewal terms, deposit, broker fee if any, utilities, and whether the unit is actually rent-stabilized. Ask for the lease rider or other written proof rather than relying on the listing description alone.

Location near the W Train, building age, amenities, and lease terms can all change the real cost. The asking rent is only part of the picture, so include fees, utilities, and any move-in charges when comparing units.

Openigloo can help you compare apartments for rent with building-level review signals when available, so you can look beyond the asking rent and check how the building is managed before you apply.
