Location within Lenox Hill, building age, amenities, lease length, broker fee, security deposit, and utility costs can all change the real monthly cost. Two studios with similar asking rent can have very different total costs.

Confirm the full monthly cost, whether the building has any tenant-protection requirements tied to good cause status, and whether the studio layout works for your sleeping area, storage, and kitchen setup.
