1-bedroom apartments in good cause buildings for rent near schools in Chelsea, Manhattan

This page shows 55+ 1-bedroom apartments for rent in Chelsea, Manhattan near schools, with a good cause filter applied. It is useful if you want to compare 1-bedroom options in this part of Manhattan while focusing on tenant-protection buildings.

Good cause is a tenant-protection category. It can limit certain rent increases or non-renewals, but it does not mean every unit has the same lease terms. Confirm the specific building and lease language before you apply.

For 1-bedroom apartments, the bedroom count narrows your search to a more specific unit type, while the median rent of $6,501 gives you a quick reference point for what asking rents look like in this scope. That helps you decide whether a unit is likely to fit your budget before you tour.

No. Good cause on Openigloo is not an official affordable-housing program. It is a market listing filter for buildings with tenant protections, so the apartments here are not income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or housing-lottery units unless the individual listing says otherwise.

Good cause is about tenant protections, not price. A unit can be covered by good cause and still have a high asking rent. Always review the full monthly cost, including fees, utilities, deposits, and any broker fee.

Ask whether the unit is actually covered by good cause, what increases or renewal rules apply, and whether there are extra costs like broker fees, move-in fees, or deposits. Also confirm utilities and any building-specific rules that affect monthly costs.
