Rent-stabilized studio apartments for rent near SIM10 Eltingville - Midtown Manhattan Express in Chelsea, Manhattan

It means the apartments are tagged as rent-stabilized, a regulatory category with limits on certain rent increases and renewal protections. It does not remove the need to review the actual lease terms, legal notices, and move-in costs.

There are 30+ apartments for rent on this page, with a median rent of $4,814 for the current inventory.

Studio budgeting is about more than rent. Look at the $4,814 median rent alongside the unit count, then factor in broker fees, deposits, utilities, and whether the layout can realistically fit your sleeping area, kitchen setup, and storage needs.

Confirm the rent-stabilized status, the renewal terms, any recent rent history if available, and all move-in charges. Even in regulated apartments, fees and lease details can vary by building and unit.

The current trending neighborhoods are Hell's Kitchen with 388+ apartments for rent, Stuyvesant Town/PCV with 268+ apartments for rent, East Village with 225+ apartments for rent, Kips Bay with 221+ apartments for rent, and Yorkville with 196+ apartments for rent.

Location near Chelsea and the transit line, building age, amenities, lease terms, and move-in fees can all affect affordability. Two studios with the same asking rent can still have very different total monthly costs.
