Rent-stabilized studio apartments for rent near M7 Harlem - 14th Street in West Chelsea, Manhattan

It means the apartments shown are filtered for rent-stabilized units, which may have regulated rent increases and renewal protections. Confirm the unit’s status in writing, because lease terms and eligibility can still vary.

There are 16+ apartments for rent in this scope, with a median rent of $4,695.

A $4,695 median rent is a useful benchmark for studio budget planning, but your real monthly cost can be higher once you add utilities, deposits, and any broker fee.

Ask whether the unit is actually rent-stabilized, what rent increases may apply at renewal, and whether there are any upfront fees, deposit requirements, or lease terms that change your move-in cost.

No. Rent-stabilized is a regulatory category, not an income-restricted or lottery-based housing program. It refers to rules that can limit certain rent increases and protect renewals, but it is not the same as subsidized housing, NYCHA, Section 8, or HPD lottery housing.

Openigloo uses the listing’s stated status and available property data to filter for rent-stabilized apartments. Always verify the designation with the landlord or agent, since the label should match the actual lease and building records.

Location near the M7 Harlem - 14th Street route, building age, amenities, lease terms, and move-in fees all affect the real cost. A lower asking rent can still become expensive if utilities, deposits, or broker fees are high.
