Rent-stabilized studio apartments for rent near M96 East Side - West Side in Manhattan

It refers to apartments with regulated rent increases and renewal protections. It is not the same as a location, and it does not guarantee a lower move-in cost or lower fees.

There are 108+ apartments for rent on this page, with a median rent of $3,644.

Use the $3,644 median rent as a benchmark, then compare it with the unit's size, layout, and any extra monthly costs. For studios, a lower rent can still feel expensive if storage is limited or the kitchen setup is tight.

Confirm the lease term, renewal rules, rent increase history if available, and any building-specific fees. Rent-stabilized status does not remove the need to check the full monthly cost.

Often, yes, but the right fit depends on the unit count in the building, the asking rent, and how much space you need for sleeping, cooking, and storage. The smaller the layout, the more important it is to compare amenities and monthly costs carefully.

East Village has 225+ apartments for rent, Hell's Kitchen has 388+ apartments for rent, Stuyvesant Town/PCV has 268+ apartments for rent, Kips Bay has 221+ apartments for rent, and Yorkville has 196+ apartments for rent.

Look for broker fees, security deposits, application fees, and utility costs. The asking rent is only part of the total monthly housing cost.
