Rent-stabilized studio apartments for rent near M23-SBS Chelsea Piers - East Side in Murray Hill, Manhattan

It means the apartment is part of New York's rent-stabilized system, which limits certain rent increases and gives renewal protections. It does not guarantee a low starting rent.

There are 15+ apartments for rent, and the median rent is $4,150.

Check how the sleeping area, kitchen, and storage are laid out, since one main room has to handle daily living. Also confirm whether there is enough room for furniture, a desk, and a single bathroom setup that works for you.

No. Rent-stabilized is a market-regulated housing category, not income-restricted housing, subsidized housing, housing-lottery units, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8.

Rent-stabilized describes legal rent rules, not a price cap. An apartment can be rent-stabilized and still have a rent that is difficult for some renters to afford.

Ask about broker fees, security deposit, utilities, move-in charges, lease length, and any renewal terms. Even in rent-stabilized housing, the full monthly cost matters beyond the asking rent.
