Studio apartments in good cause buildings for rent near landmarks in Midtown South, Manhattan

Good cause refers to tenant-protection rules that can limit certain rent increases or non-renewals. It is not a neighborhood or a guarantee that a unit will be affordable.

There are 13+ studio apartments for rent near landmarks in Midtown South, Manhattan, in good cause buildings.

The median rent is $4,795, which is a useful benchmark when you are comparing studio options in this scope.

No. Good cause is a market and tenant-protection category, not income-restricted housing, subsidized housing, housing-lottery housing, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8. It affects certain rent and renewal protections, but it does not mean a unit is official affordable housing.

Ask whether the lease includes any renewal limits, rent-increase terms, fees, and move-in requirements. Also confirm the full monthly cost, because utilities, deposits, and broker fees can change what you actually pay.

For studio apartments, the unit count and median rent matter together: a smaller inventory can mean faster competition, and the $4,795 median rent helps you judge whether the asking rent fits your monthly plan.

This page does not use Openigloo’s affordable filter. If a page does, Openigloo sets the threshold at the 25th percentile of gross rents within that page’s scope, so it is a market-relative affordability threshold rather than an official housing program.
