Rent-stabilized studio apartments for rent near M7 Harlem - 14th Street in NoMad, Manhattan

It means the apartments for rent shown here are tagged as rent-stabilized, which is a regulatory category with rules that can affect rent increases and renewals. It does not mean every cost is capped or that the unit is low-cost overall.

There are 13+ apartments for rent on this page, and the median rent is $5,290. That gives you a sense of current supply and what studios in this scope are pricing at.

No. Rent-stabilized is not the same as income-restricted, subsidized, housing-lottery, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8 housing. It is a regulatory status, not an official affordable-housing program.

This page is not using the affordable filter, but when Openigloo does, it uses a market-relative affordability threshold based on the 25th percentile of gross rents within the page’s scope. It is a search filter, not a government housing program.

Ask about the full monthly cost, lease length, rent history, renewal timing, broker fee, security deposit, utilities, and any building-specific rules. Rent-stabilized status does not remove all upfront or recurring costs.

Location near transit, building age, amenities, lease terms, and whether the unit has extra fees can change the real monthly cost. Even within the same area, a studio’s asking rent may look similar while the total move-in cost is very different.

With 13+ apartments for rent and a median rent of $5,290, it helps to compare each studio’s asking rent against your monthly budget and move-in cash. For studios, also check whether the layout leaves room for a separate sleep area, storage, and a workable kitchen setup.
