Rent-stabilized studio apartments for rent under $3,000 in NYC

Rent-stabilized usually means the apartment is subject to regulated rent increases and renewal protections. It does not mean every lease term is the same, so confirm the current rent, renewal rules, and any tenant notices before signing.

There are 118+ apartments for rent in this NYC studio search under $3,000 with the rent-stabilized filter applied. Inventory changes often, so the count is a live snapshot rather than a fixed total.

The median rent is $2,759. That can help you compare whether a specific studio is priced above or below the current middle of the market for this page's scope.

No. This page is not a government affordable-housing program. The under-$3,000 filter is a market-relative price filter on Openigloo, and the rent-stabilized filter refers to regulated housing protections, not income eligibility.

It is not an official affordable-housing standard. Openigloo's price filter uses market-relative affordability based on the scope of this page, then selects apartments with asking rents at or below the chosen cutoff for that search.

The full monthly cost still matters, including broker fee, deposit, utilities, and any building fees. A studio that looks affordable on rent alone can cost more once move-in charges and recurring expenses are included.

Location, building age, amenities, lease length, and move-in fees all affect affordability. In a rent-stabilized studio search, a lower asking rent can still come with tradeoffs in layout, commute, or total upfront cost.
