How many studio apartments for rent are in this Chelsea search?

There are 25 apartments for rent in this scope as of 2026-05-11.

What is the median rent for these studios?

Does good cause guarantee lower move-in costs or a lower rent?

No. It is about tenant protections, not a fixed discount. You still need to confirm rent, deposits, broker fees, utilities, and any other charges.

What should I confirm before I apply for a studio in Chelsea?

Check the exact unit layout, the building’s good cause status, lease length, any renewal terms, and whether there are fees or required documents that affect your move-in cost.

How do I use Openigloo for this search?

Compare building ratings and renter reviews, then review the apartment details and confirm any tenant-protection language with the agent or landlord.

Why does studio budgeting matter in Chelsea?

With only one room, the layout has to cover sleeping, living, and storage needs. For budgeting, the median rent and the number of available studios tell you how competitive the search may be, but the full monthly cost still matters.
