Openigloo uses the 25th percentile of gross rents for the Morningside Heights neighborhood in Manhattan — the cheapest roughly 25% of asking rents in that scope — and clamps it to a safe floor and ceiling so the cutoff stays realistic. On this page, that ceiling is $4,300.

Confirm the full monthly cost, including broker fee, deposit, utilities, and any building fees. Even with an asking rent under $4,300, those extras can change affordability quickly.

Good cause is a tenant-protection category, not a place name. It can limit certain rent increases or non-renewals, but you still need to read the lease and verify how the protection applies to the unit you want.

Location within Morningside Heights, building age, amenities, and lease terms can all change the real cost. A lower asking rent can still become expensive once fees, utilities, and move-in charges are added.
