Studio apartments in good cause buildings for rent near 1 Train in Battery Park City, Manhattan

Good cause is a tenant-protection category. It does not mean the apartment is income-restricted or subsidized. It points you to buildings where certain rent increases or non-renewals may be limited under the rule.

There are 15+ studio apartments for rent in this scope right now. Because inventory changes fast, it is worth checking availability and application requirements before you tour.

The median rent is $4,684. For studio apartments, that number helps you compare whether the asking rent is in line with the current market for this part of Manhattan.

No. Good cause is not an official affordable-housing program. These are market-rate apartments for rent with tenant-protection rules that may affect increases or renewals.

Good cause is about tenant protections, not a rent cap tied to income or a housing subsidy. It does not mean the apartment is part of NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or a lottery program.

Openigloo lets you review building-level signals like landlord and tenant feedback where available, then compare rents, bedroom type, and transit access before you apply.

Confirm the full monthly cost, including broker fee, deposit, utilities, and any building-specific fees. Also check lease length, renewal terms, and any good-cause-related rent increase language.
