Studio apartments in good cause buildings for rent near X28 Sea Gate / Bensonhurst - Manhattan Express in Sutton Place, Manhattan

Good cause refers to a tenant-protection category, not a neighborhood. On this page, it helps you find studio apartments for rent in buildings that may have limits on certain rent increases or non-renewals.

There are 16+ studio apartments for rent on this page, with a median rent of $4,165. For budgeting, that means the bedroom count and building rules still matter, since studio layouts can vary a lot even within the same price range.

Openigloo lets you review building feedback and renter signals alongside the apartment search, so you can check the building, landlord history, and lease details before applying.

Confirm the asking rent, deposit, move-in fees, utilities, and whether the lease actually matches the good cause status you are expecting. Also ask about renewal terms and any rent increase rules tied to the building.

No. Good cause is a market and tenant-protection category, not an official affordable-housing program. It does not mean the apartment is income-restricted, subsidized, lottery housing, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8.

In this snapshot, the trending neighborhoods are Hell's Kitchen with 388+ apartments for rent, Stuyvesant Town/PCV with 268+ apartments for rent, East Village with 225+ apartments for rent, Kips Bay with 221+ apartments for rent, and Yorkville with 196+ apartments for rent.

Location, building age, amenities, and lease terms can all change the real cost of a studio. Two apartments with the same asking rent can still differ once you factor in utilities, fees, and any required deposits.
