Rent-stabilized 1-bedroom apartments for rent under $3,000 in Manhattan

It means the apartments are in a regulated category with limits on certain rent increases and some renewal protections. Confirm the lease terms for the specific unit before you apply.

There are 56 apartments for rent in this scope as of 2026-05-11.

The median rent is $2,799, which gives you a quick reference point against the $3,000 ceiling.

Recent activity includes Hell's Kitchen, Yorkville, Lenox Hill, East Village, and Kips Bay. Availability can change quickly, so compare each unit by neighborhood and lease terms.

Bedroom count, neighborhood, and building type all affect rent. A 1-bedroom can fit different budgets depending on location, while the median rent helps you compare the market against the $3,000 cap.

Ask about broker fees, security deposit, utilities, and any required move-in charges. Those costs can make a unit less affordable even when the asking rent is under $3,000.

Not necessarily. Rent-stabilized units follow regulated rules, but you should still review the current lease, renewal language, and any allowed increases for the specific apartment.
