Rent-stabilized studio apartments for rent near SIM5 Eltingville - Lower Manhattan Express in NYC

It means the apartments for rent are filtered to units that are rent-stabilized, a regulatory category with limits on certain rent increases and renewal protections. It is not the same as affordable housing programs.

No. Openigloo’s rent-stabilized filter is market-based and regulatory, not an official affordable-housing program. It does not mean the unit is income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or a lottery apartment.

It uses the listing’s reported regulatory status rather than a price cutoff. On Openigloo, rent-stabilized is a status filter, so you should still verify the lease rider and renewal terms with the landlord or agent.

With 185+ studio apartments for rent and a median rent of $4,350, you can compare how much you may need to spend for a single-room layout near this transit line. Studios often have tighter storage and kitchen space, so budget for the total monthly cost, not just rent.

Ask about broker fees, application fees, security deposit, utilities, move-in charges, and any building rules that affect the lease. Rent-stabilized status does not remove all costs or restrictions.

Check whether the sleeping area, kitchen, and storage can fit your routine, and confirm if there is a separate bathroom layout or any alcove space. In a studio, the floor plan matters as much as rent.
