Rent-stabilized studio apartments for rent near X38 Sea Gate / Bensonhurst - Midtown Manhattan Express in Fulton/Seaport, Manhattan

It means the studio apartments for rent shown here are in the rent-stabilized category, which can limit annual rent increases and provide renewal protections. It does not mean the apartment is income-restricted, subsidized, or part of a housing lottery.

No. Rent-stabilized is a regulatory category, not an official affordable-housing program. The rents can still be market-based, and you should still review the lease, fees, utilities, and move-in costs.

It narrows the search to apartments that fall under rent-stabilized rules. That can matter for renewal rights and rent increases, but you still need to confirm the unit’s current status, lease terms, and any building-specific policies.

This page does not use the affordable filter. If you are comparing prices, the median rent here is $4,639, which can help you gauge how studio pricing sits in this part of Manhattan.

Confirm the actual sleeping area, storage, kitchen setup, bathroom layout, and whether the full monthly cost includes broker fees, utilities, deposits, or other charges.

Ask about move-in fees, security deposit requirements, utility responsibility, and any broker fee. A rent-stabilized apartment can still have high upfront costs even when the rent is regulated.
