Studio apartments in good cause buildings for rent near Astoria Route in Murray Hill, Manhattan

This page includes 23+ studio apartments for rent near Astoria Route in Murray Hill, Manhattan, within good cause buildings. The median rent in this scope is $4,031.

Good cause is a tenant-protection category, not a neighborhood name. It generally points to buildings where certain rent increases or non-renewals may be limited under local rules, but you still need to confirm the lease terms for each apartment.

No. Good cause on Openigloo is not an income-restricted, subsidized, housing-lottery, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8 designation. It is a tenant-protection category, so the asking rent is still a market rent and the full monthly cost still matters.

This page does not use the affordable filter. If you are comparing affordability elsewhere on Openigloo, that threshold is based on the 25th percentile of gross rents within the page’s scope, not on any official housing program.

Confirm the rent, deposit, broker fee if any, utilities, move-in timing, and whether the unit’s good cause status applies to the exact apartment you want. For studios, also check the layout so the sleeping area, kitchen, and storage fit your routine.

Location within Murray Hill, building age, amenities, lease terms, and unit condition can all affect asking rent and total move-in cost. A newer building with more services may charge more than a simpler walk-up.

Use the 23+ apartment count and the $4,031 median rent as a starting point, then compare each unit’s move-in costs and monthly extras. In a studio search, small changes in layout or fees can matter as much as the asking rent.
