Rent-stabilized studio apartments for rent near M21 Lower East Side - West Village in Manhattan

It means the apartments are tagged as rent-stabilized, a regulatory category with protections around rent increases and renewals. It does not remove the need to review the actual lease, building rules, and any legal notices tied to the unit.

There are 63+ rent-stabilized studio apartments for rent on this page, with a $4,244 median rent.

This page is not using the affordable filter, so there is no affordable threshold here. If you use Openigloo affordable filters on other pages, they are based on market-relative affordability for that scope, not on a housing program.

No. Rent-stabilized is a regulatory category, not income-restricted or subsidized housing. It does not mean the apartment is NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or a lottery unit.

Check the actual studio layout, whether there is enough space for sleeping and storage, and whether the kitchen and bathroom setup works for your routine. Also confirm total move-in costs, because broker fees, deposits, and utilities can change the real monthly burden.
