Rent-stabilized studio apartments for rent near M102 Harlem - East Village in Midtown South, Manhattan

It means the apartments are in a regulated category, not a general price filter. Rent increases and renewal terms may be limited by law, but you still need to review the lease and the unit’s paperwork.

There are 14+ apartments for rent, and the median rent is $4,678. For a studio search, that helps set a budget for a single open layout rather than a multi-room unit.

No. Rent-stabilized on Openigloo is a regulatory category, not income-restricted housing, subsidized housing, housing-lottery housing, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8. The filter is about regulation, not official affordable-housing programs.

Openigloo uses the rent-stabilized status shown for the apartment and lets you browse that regulated inventory in this scope. You should still confirm the unit’s status, the lease renewal terms, and any registration or disclosure documents with the agent or landlord.

Ask about the full monthly cost, including fees, utilities, deposit, and any broker fee. Also confirm whether the unit is truly rent-stabilized, what the renewal terms are, and whether the studio layout works for your furniture and storage needs.

Location near transit, building age, amenities, lease terms, and move-in fees can all change the real cost. A rent-stabilized asking rent does not mean the apartment will be inexpensive once you add deposits, utilities, and other charges.

Use the 14+ apartment count and the $4,678 median rent as a starting point, then compare layout, light, storage, and total move-in cost. In a studio, the floor plan matters as much as the asking rent.
