The median rent is $4,196. Use that as a quick reference, then compare each apartment's asking rent, fees, and move-in costs before deciding.

No. Good cause on Openigloo is a market-status filter, not an official affordable-housing program. It points to tenant-protection buildings, not income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or lottery housing.

Good cause buildings follow tenant-protection rules that can limit certain rent increases or non-renewals. You still need to verify the lease terms, building policies, and any unit-specific exceptions with the agent or landlord.

Look beyond asking rent. The monthly total can change a lot once you add broker fees, deposits, utilities, and any amenity or pet charges, especially for a studio where space and storage are already limited.

Confirm whether the apartment is actually covered by good cause protections, what the renewal terms are, whether there is a broker fee, and how much you need upfront at lease signing.
