Studio apartments in good cause buildings for rent near W Train in Gramercy Park, Manhattan

Good cause refers to tenant-protection status. It can limit certain rent increases or non-renewals, but it does not mean the apartment is cheaper, rent-stabilized, or automatically easier to rent.

There are 16+ studio apartments for rent in this scope, with a median rent of $4,492.

Confirm the lease term, renewal language, broker fee, security deposit, move-in timing, and whether the apartment actually qualifies as a good cause building unit.

Yes. Budget for broker fees, security deposit, utilities, and any building or application charges, since the full monthly cost can be higher than the asking rent.

No. Good cause is a tenant-protection category, not an affordable-housing program. These apartments are market-rate rentals with protections that may affect certain rent increases or non-renewals.

Good cause and rent-stabilized are different categories. Rent-stabilized apartments are regulated under a separate system with their own rules, while good cause focuses on tenant protections tied to certain rent increases or non-renewals.

In Manhattan, studio apartments often trade space for location and transit access, so compare the asking rent, likely monthly utilities, and whether the layout has enough room for sleeping, kitchen setup, and storage before you commit.
