Studio Apartments in NYC
Browse 1,172 active studio apartments across NYC, with a median rent of $3,650 as of 2026-05-05. This page is for renters looking at 0-bedroom units, where the whole apartment usually serves as your sleeping area, living space, and kitchen setup. When comparing studios, pay close attention to layout, storage, bathroom setup, and how the kitchen is arranged. In a studio, small differences in square footage and floor plan can matter more than they do in one-bedroom listings.
- What to expect: studios combine sleeping and living space, so layout and storage matter as much as price.
- Budget planning: with 1,172 active listings and a $3,650 median rent, neighborhood choice can change what you can realistically afford.
- What to confirm before you apply: ask about square footage, closet space, kitchen placement, and whether the apartment has a separate sleeping alcove or open plan.
- Move-in costs: confirm the full upfront total, including first month, security deposit, broker fee if any, and application fees.
- Lifestyle fit: if you work from home or have a lot of belongings, check whether the unit has enough room for a desk, bed, and storage without crowding.
- Neighborhood comparison: active studio options are spread across areas like the Upper West Side, Financial District, Stuyvesant Town/PCV, and Battery Park City.
