Studio apartments in good cause buildings for rent near C Train in Manhattan

Good cause is a tenant-protection category, not a neighborhood or a guarantee of a specific rent level. It generally points to buildings where certain rent increases or non-renewals may be limited under the law, but you still need to check the lease and building details for the exact terms.

There are 441+ studio apartments for rent in this scope right now. The median rent is $4,235, so budget for a studio market that can still move above or below that depending on building, location, and lease terms.

No. Good cause is not the same as income-restricted, subsidized, or housing-lottery housing. It is a tenant-protection category, while the apartments on this page are market-rate studios in good cause buildings.

This page is not using the affordable filter. If you do use Openigloo's affordable filter elsewhere, it is based on the 25th percentile of gross rents in the page's scope, not on any official housing program.

Confirm the full monthly cost beyond asking rent, including fees, utilities, deposit, and any broker fee. For a studio, also check how the sleeping area is arranged, how much storage exists, and whether the kitchen and bathroom layout fit your needs.

The current 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. These counts can help you compare where inventory is concentrated.

Location near the C Train, building age, amenities, lease terms, and extra monthly costs can all change the real price. A lower asking rent can still end up less affordable if fees, utilities, or move-in costs are high.
