Rent-stabilized studio apartments for rent near M72 East Side - West Side in Yorkville, Manhattan

It means the apartments are filtered for rent-stabilized status, which is a regulatory category tied to limits on certain rent increases and renewal protections. It is not the same as affordable housing or a housing program.

No. Rent-stabilized is a market and legal category, not an official affordable-housing program. The filter does not mean income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or lottery housing.

Affordable on Openigloo would be a market-relative price filter, while rent-stabilized refers to a separate regulatory status. A rent-stabilized apartment can still be above or below market-relative affordable thresholds, and the asking rent alone does not tell you the full monthly cost.

With 16+ apartments for rent and a $3,366 median rent, budget for the asking rent plus utilities, any broker fee, security deposit, and move-in charges. In a studio, layout matters too because the sleeping area, kitchen, and storage all share one compact space.

Openigloo uses the rent-stabilized filter to show apartments that are labeled as rent-stabilized in the relevant scope. You should still verify the status with the landlord or agent and review the lease terms carefully.

Ask whether there is a broker fee, security deposit, income documentation, guarantor requirements, or any move-in charge. For studios, also confirm whether the layout fits your furniture and daily routine.
