Affordable rent-stabilized studio apartments for rent in Upper West Side

It means studio apartments for rent in Upper West Side that are both rent-stabilized and priced at or below the $3,400 market-relative affordability threshold on this page.

No. Affordable on Openigloo is a market-relative affordability threshold, not an official affordable-housing program. It selects apartments with asking rents at or below the 25th percentile of gross rents for this scope, not income-restricted or subsidized units.

Openigloo sets it from the 25th percentile of gross rents for the scope of this page, then clamps it to a safe floor and ceiling. Here, that produces a maximum asking rent of $3,400.

Rent-stabilized apartments can have regulated renewal rules and limits on certain rent increases, but you should still confirm the lease language, any legal regulated rent details, and whether fees or building policies change your move-in cost.

Location, building age, amenities, lease terms, broker fee, security deposit, and monthly utilities can all change the total cost beyond the asking rent. A lower rent does not always mean a lower all-in monthly cost.

The 15 apartments for rent give you the current inventory in this scope, while the $3,094 median rent shows the midpoint of asking rents. Together, they help you judge how tightly priced the available studios are.

Check the sleeping area layout, kitchen setup, storage, and whether there is only one bathroom, since studio space is limited. Also confirm pet rules, fees, and the full lease terms if they matter to you.
