Affordable rent-stabilized apartments for rent in Midtown West

It means the apartment matches two filters: asking rent at or below $4,400 and a rent-stabilized status. The affordable filter on Openigloo is market-relative, not a government housing program.

No. These are not official affordable-housing units. Openigloo’s affordable filter here is a market-relative affordability threshold based on asking rents in this scope, not income limits or a housing lottery.

It is the 25th percentile of gross rents for Midtown West in Manhattan — basically the cheapest roughly 25% of asking rents in this scope — clamped to a safe floor and ceiling so it stays realistic.

The median rent is $3,982, and there are 130+ apartments for rent on this page. For budget planning, compare the asking rent with the unit type, because studios and 1-bedrooms are the most common and can feel very different in total monthly cost and usable space.

Broker fees, security deposits, utilities, move-in charges, and lease terms can all raise the real monthly cost. A lower asking rent does not always mean a lower total cost.

Confirm the apartment’s rent-stabilized status, renewal terms, any recent improvements tied to rent changes, and whether the advertised rent includes fees or concessions. Building rules can also affect move-in costs and lease flexibility.

Location within Midtown West, building age, amenities, unit size, and lease terms all affect price. Newer buildings and extra amenities often push the asking rent and move-in costs higher.
