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

It means the apartments are in a rent-regulated category with limits on certain rent increases and renewal protections. It is not the same as affordable housing, and the exact rules depend on the unit and lease.

There are 25+ apartments for rent on this page, with a median rent of $4,037.

Confirm that the unit is truly stabilized, ask how renewals work, and check for any fees, deposit rules, or lease conditions that could change your monthly cost.

With studio apartments, the unit count, median rent, and single-room layout matter together because you are paying Manhattan rents for a smaller footprint, so storage and kitchen setup can affect value.

Even in a rent-stabilized unit, you may still face broker fees, application fees, move-in deposits, utility charges, and lease restrictions. Always verify the full monthly cost before you commit.

Rent-stabilized is a regulatory status, not an income-restricted or lottery-based program. It can still include market-rate asking rents, so the monthly rent and total move-in costs still matter.

This page does not use the affordable filter. For Openigloo affordable pages, the threshold is based on the 25th percentile of gross rents within the page scope, then kept within a realistic floor and ceiling.
