Affordable pet-friendly studio apartments for rent in Upper East Side

Here, affordable means market-relative affordable apartments, not official affordable housing. Openigloo uses asking rents at or below $3,000/month for this scope, based on the 25th percentile of gross rents for the page's scope.

No. This page is not income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or lottery housing. It is a market-relative affordable apartments filter based on asking rent within this scope.

Openigloo sets the threshold at the 25th percentile of gross rents for the Upper East Side neighborhood in Manhattan, then clamps it to a safe floor and ceiling so it stays realistic. On this page, that ceiling is $3,000/month.

There are 4 apartments for rent on this page, and the median rent is $2,890. For studio apartments, that helps you compare smaller unit pricing against your full move-in budget.

Confirm pet fees, breed and weight limits, pet counts, deposits, and any required documentation. Pet-friendly does not guarantee every pet will be accepted.

Location within the Upper East Side, building age, amenities, and lease terms can all change the real monthly cost. Also check utilities, broker fees, deposits, and move-in charges beyond asking rent.

Studio renters should check the layout carefully, especially where the sleeping area fits, how the kitchen is set up, whether storage is adequate, and whether the single bathroom placement works for daily use.
