2-bedroom apartments in good cause buildings for rent near SIM33C Mariners Harbor - Greenwich Village Express in Midtown, Manhattan

Good cause is a tenant-protection category, not a location. It generally refers to buildings where certain rent increases or non-renewals may be limited, but you should still confirm the building’s status and the lease language before you apply.

No. Good cause is not the same as income-restricted, subsidized, or housing-lottery housing. It is a market-based tenant-protection category, so the asking rent can still be at market rate.

This page is not using Openigloo’s affordable filter. It is using a good cause filter plus a 2-bedroom, Midtown, Manhattan transit scope, so there is no affordability threshold here to calculate.

The median rent of $7,742 gives you a quick budget reference for 2-bedroom apartments in this scope. Because there are only 14+ apartments for rent, price differences can be meaningful, so compare each unit’s asking rent and total move-in cost.

Ask whether the building is actually covered, whether the protections apply to your specific unit, and whether the lease includes any conditions that affect renewal or rent increases. Also check fees, deposit requirements, and any broker fee.

Location within Midtown, building age, amenities, rent-stabilized or good cause status, lease length, and added costs like utilities, deposits, and broker fees can all change the real monthly cost.
