Affordable rent-stabilized apartments for rent in Upper West Side

It includes 36 apartments for rent in Upper West Side, Manhattan that meet both filters: market-relative affordability at or below $4,600 and rent-stabilized status.

No. On Openigloo, affordable means market-relative affordability: apartments with asking rents at or below the 25th percentile of gross rents for this scope, clamped to a safe floor and ceiling. It is not an official affordable-housing program.

The threshold is set from the 25th percentile of gross rents for the Upper West Side neighborhood in Manhattan, then clamped to a safe floor and ceiling so the market-relative affordability threshold stays realistic.

Confirm the current asking rent, the lease terms, renewal rules, and any fees or deposits. Rent-stabilized apartments can still have application costs, broker fees, and move-in charges.

They affect both the asking rent and your total monthly cost. A unit with more amenities, a newer building, or stricter lease terms may cost more even if it still fits the $4,600 ceiling.

The median rent is $3,853 across 36 apartments for rent, so expect many options to cluster near that level, with 1-bedroom and 2-bedroom units making up much of the inventory. Use the median as a planning anchor, then check the full cost before applying.

Rent-stabilized apartments are regulated, so increases and renewals follow specific rules, but the unit is not free of fees or lease obligations. Always confirm the registration status and the exact renewal language with the agent.
