Rent-stabilized studio apartments for rent near schools in Chelsea, Manhattan

It is a search for studio apartments for rent in Chelsea, Manhattan that are marked rent-stabilized and close to schools. Rent-stabilized means the unit is in a regulated category with limits on certain rent increases and renewal protections, but you should still confirm the exact lease terms and building rules for each apartment.

There are 30+ apartments for rent in this Chelsea, Manhattan search as of 2026-07-03. The median rent is $4,814.

The median rent of $4,814 gives you a quick sense of the middle of the current market for this search. For studios, compare that figure against your total monthly budget, because the unit count, building quality, and neighborhood access can push asking rents up or down.

No. This is a market-rate search with a rent-stabilized filter, not income-restricted, subsidized, housing-lottery, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8 housing. On Openigloo, rent-stabilized refers to a regulatory category, not an official affordable-housing program.

Openigloo uses the rent-stabilized filter to surface apartments that fall into that regulatory category based on the page's data. That can affect how rent increases are handled and what renewal protections may apply, but you should still verify the unit's status, lease rider, and registration details with the agent or building.

Confirm the exact unit location, commute times, noise level, and whether the studio layout fits your daily routine. Also ask about deposit requirements, broker fees, utilities, and any building policies that could affect move-in costs or day-to-day living.
