Rent-stabilized studio apartments for rent near M23-SBS Chelsea Piers - East Side in West Chelsea, Manhattan

It means the apartment is in a regulatory category with limits on certain rent increases and some renewal protections. It does not mean every unit in the building is covered the same way, so verify the exact apartment before you apply.

There are 16+ apartments for rent with a median rent of $4,695. Use those numbers as a planning baseline, but check the exact asking rent and move-in costs for each unit.

No. Rent-stabilized is different from income-restricted, subsidized, housing-lottery, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8 housing. Openigloo uses a market-relative filter here to surface apartments with rent-stabilized status, not official affordable-housing units.

This page is not using an affordable filter, so there is no affordable threshold here. The rent-stabilized filter is based on building and unit regulatory status, not on a percentile of asking rents.

Location near transit, building age, amenities, lease terms, and extra monthly costs can all change the real price. For a studio, storage and layout also matter because the sleeping area, kitchen, and living space are usually combined.

Ask whether the unit is actually rent-stabilized, whether there are broker fees or additional move-in charges, and what documents the landlord requires. Also confirm lease length, renewal terms, and any pet or building rules if they apply.

Openigloo shows renter-first building and landlord review signals so you can look for patterns before touring or applying. That can help you compare management quality, reported rent changes, and how a building is handled over time.
