Rent-stabilized studio apartments for rent near M50 W 42 St Pier - East Side in Chelsea, Manhattan

It means the apartment is categorized as rent-stabilized, which generally involves regulated rent increases and renewal protections. It does not remove the need to review the lease, building rules, or move-in costs.

There are 14+ apartments for rent on this page, and the median rent is $5,595. Because this is a studio page, the size, layout, and monthly rent all matter when you compare options.

For studio apartments, the unit count, median rent, and bedroom count work together to set expectations: fewer bedrooms usually means a smaller footprint, but the rent can still be high in Manhattan. Add utilities, deposit, and any broker fee to the asking rent before deciding.

Ask about the deposit, broker fee if there is one, lease length, renewal terms, pet rules if relevant, and any building-specific application charges. Rent-stabilized status does not guarantee low upfront costs.

In this scope, the most active neighborhoods are East Village with 225+ apartments for rent, Hell's Kitchen with 388+ apartments for rent, Stuyvesant Town/PCV with 268+ apartments for rent, Kips Bay with 221+ apartments for rent, and Yorkville with 196+ apartments for rent.

Check where the sleeping area fits, whether the kitchen is separate or part of the main room, how much storage you get, and whether the bathroom layout works for daily use. In a studio, small layout differences can affect livability a lot.
