It includes 291+ studio apartments for rent in Manhattan near the M Train that are tagged as good cause buildings. The median rent is $4,235, which can help you gauge the current market for this scope.

Good cause is a tenant-protection category, not a neighborhood or building type. It can affect certain rent increases or non-renewals, but you should still read the lease and confirm the exact protections that apply to the building and unit.

No. Good cause on Openigloo is a tenant-protection filter, not an official affordable-housing program. These apartments are still market-rate apartments for rent, so income-restricted, subsidized, NYCHA, HPD, and Section 8 rules do not apply just because a building is tagged good cause.

Good cause is about tenant protections, while affordability is about asking rent. A building can be tagged good cause even if the rent is not affordable, and an affordable apartment does not automatically have good cause protections.

For studio apartments, the rent is only part of the decision. Compare the $4,235 median rent against your budget, then add move-in costs, utilities, possible broker fees, and any building charges before you apply.

Confirm the exact M Train stop, the lease term, any broker fee, deposit amount, pet rules if relevant, and whether the studio has a separate kitchen setup or enough storage for your needs.

Location near the M Train, building age, amenities, and lease terms all affect the asking rent. Even within good cause buildings, the full monthly cost can change once fees, utilities, and move-in charges are included.
