What does this page filter for in Upper West Side?

It shows 16 apartments for rent in Upper West Side that are both rent-stabilized and in top rated buildings on Openigloo. Use it to narrow the search, then verify the unit details before you apply.

How is rent-stabilized different from top rated?

Rent-stabilized is a regulatory category tied to rent increase and renewal rules. Top rated refers to building review scores on Openigloo. A building can score well in reviews without every unit having the same lease terms.

What is the median rent on this page?

The median rent is $5,333. It gives a quick read on current pricing, but actual asking rents can be higher or lower depending on unit size, condition, and location within Upper West Side.

What should I confirm before applying to a rent-stabilized apartment?

Confirm the unit’s legal rent-stabilized status, the renewal terms, any application fees, broker fee, security deposit, and whether the lease includes extra charges for utilities or amenities.

Are top rated buildings guaranteed to have no issues?

No. Top rated means the building has stronger Openigloo review scores, but you should still read recent tenant feedback and check for complaints about maintenance, noise, or management response time.

How do I budget for apartments in this scope?

Use the 16 apartments for rent count and the $5,333 median rent as a starting point, then compare bedroom count, building condition, and the total move-in cost before deciding.

What to check when comparing top rated, rent-stabilized apartments in Upper West Side, Manhattan

Expect a smaller, more selective set of 16 apartments for rent in Upper West Side because the page combines rent-stabilized and top rated filters.
The median rent is $5,333, so budget for a market where the asking price can still vary widely by block, building, and unit size.
Top rated buildings reflect Openigloo review scores, not neighborhood quality, so check the building history and recent tenant feedback.
Rent-stabilized status can affect renewal rules and annual rent changes, but you should still confirm the unit’s legal status before applying.
Ask about the full move-in cost, including deposits, fees, utilities, and any broker fee, since asking rent is only part of the monthly budget.
