Rent-stabilized verified studio apartments for rent in Upper East Side

It means the page is showing studio apartments for rent in Upper East Side that are tagged as rent-stabilized and verified on Openigloo. Verified refers to the listing quality on the platform, while rent-stabilized is the regulatory category tied to rent-increase and renewal rules.

There are 20 apartments for rent in this Upper East Side studio scope right now. That is current inventory, so the number can change as apartments are rented or added.

The median rent is $4,111. For budget planning, that means many of the available studios cluster around that level, though individual units can be higher or lower.

No. Openigloo's affordable and filter tags are not official affordable-housing programs, and rent-stabilized does not mean income-restricted. These are market apartments with regulatory or verification signals, not NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or lottery units.

Confirm the full monthly cost, including broker fee, deposit, utilities, and any building fees. For a studio, also check whether the layout works for sleeping, cooking, and storage, and whether the lease terms match your move-in timeline.

Location within Upper East Side, building age, amenities, and lease terms can all change the total cost. A lower asking rent can still be less affordable once you add fees, utilities, and move-in requirements.
