What to check before for top rated, rent-stabilized apartments in Upper West Side, Manhattan

  • Expect a smaller, more selective set of 28+ 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.
