Upper West Side has an average building rating of 4.0/5 across 93 rated buildings, an average tenancy length of 4.8 months based on 85 relisted units, and an average rent increase of 10.0% based on 248 relisted units (building-level trends; individual units can differ)

This page shows 12 rent-stabilized studio apartments for rent in Upper West Side, Manhattan, filtered to top rated buildings. It is a narrow studio search, so expect compact layouts with a sleeping area, kitchen setup, storage, and a single bathroom to share the space. Openigloo helps you compare renter-first signals like building reviews and rent-stabilized status before you apply. Use the filters to focus on Upper West Side options, then check the building score, lease terms, and any move-in costs so the asking rent is only part of the picture.
