Apartments in good cause buildings for rent near X38 Sea Gate / Bensonhurst - Midtown Manhattan Express in Battery Park City, Manhattan

It means apartments for rent in buildings that fall under a tenant-protection category tied to limits on certain rent increases or non-renewals. It is not a neighborhood or a housing program.

This page currently shows 82+ apartments for rent, with a median rent of $6,093. That gives you a quick sense of supply and the typical asking price in this scope.

No. “Good cause” is a market housing protection category, not income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or housing-lottery housing. The apartments still have market asking rents.

Good cause describes a building-level tenant-protection status. It does not tell you where the apartment is; it tells you something about the rules that may apply to rent changes and renewals.

Confirm the exact monthly rent, any broker fee, security deposit, utilities, and whether the building’s good cause status applies to the unit you are considering. Lease terms can still vary.

The trending neighborhoods are Hell's Kitchen with 388+ apartments for rent, Stuyvesant Town/PCV with 268+ apartments for rent, East Village with 225+ apartments for rent, Kips Bay with 221+ apartments for rent, and Yorkville with 196+ apartments for rent.

You can use building reviews and landlord feedback to look for patterns that may not show up in the rent alone, then compare that with commute needs, lease terms, and total move-in cost.
