This page includes 22+ rent-stabilized verified studio apartments for rent near transit in Chelsea, Manhattan. It is meant for renters who want a studio layout, regulated-rent category, and verified Openigloo data in one place.

Rent-stabilized is a regulatory category. It points to apartments with regulated rent increases and renewal protections, but the exact rules depend on the unit and lease history, so you should confirm the details before you sign.

Verified refers to listing quality checks on Openigloo. It does not mean the apartment is in perfect condition, available indefinitely, or free of fees, restrictions, or move-in issues.

With studio apartments, budget planning is about the rent, the size of the sleeping area, kitchen setup, storage, and whether a single bathroom works for your routine. In a neighborhood like Chelsea, location and building quality can also affect what you get for the price.

Ask about broker fees, security deposit, application costs, move-in timing, utilities, and any lease renewal terms. Even with rent-stabilized apartments for rent, the full monthly cost can be higher than the asking rent.
