What does rent-stabilized mean on this page?

It means the apartment is in a regulated category with limits on certain rent increases and renewal protections. It does not guarantee the lowest rent or the same rules in every building, so confirm the lease details for each unit.

What is the median rent here?

The median rent is $2,904 for these studio apartments for rent under $3,000 in Upper East Side.

Is this income-restricted, subsidized, or housing-lottery housing?

No. This page uses a market-relative affordability threshold, not an official affordable-housing program. The filter only shows asking rents at or below the set price cap for this scope.

What should I check before applying to a studio?

Make sure the sleeping area, kitchen setup, and storage work for your needs, and confirm the full monthly cost. Fees, utilities, deposits, and any broker fee can change the real price beyond the asking rent.

What neighborhood factors can affect affordability?

Location within Upper East Side, building age, amenities, and lease terms can all affect rent and move-in cost. A lower asking rent can still come with higher fees or less flexible terms, so check the full offer carefully.
