Studio apartments under $3,000 for rent near R Train in Manhattan

This page includes 21+ studio apartments for rent near the R train in Manhattan with asking rents under $3,000. It is meant for renters who want a studio, a subway-access filter, and a clear price cap.

Treat it as a rent ceiling for the asking rent only. The monthly total can still be higher once you add utilities, fees, and any broker charge or move-in deposit.

Check the actual layout, since a studio needs one room to handle sleeping, living, and often a small kitchen area. Also confirm storage, bathroom setup, natural light, noise, and the true commute from the apartment to the R train.

Openigloo surfaces renter reviews and building-level signals so you can compare management, maintenance, and building conditions before you apply. That is useful when two studios have similar rents but very different day-to-day living conditions.

Location, building age, amenities, and lease terms can change the real cost. A lower asking rent can still feel expensive if fees are high or the unit has limited storage, a long commute, or poor heat and insulation.

With 21+ studio apartments for rent in this scope and a median rent of $2,850, the number of options is limited enough that you should budget beyond the asking rent. Compare the rent with fees, utilities, and how much space you are actually getting.
