Studio apartments in good cause buildings for rent near 2 Train in Upper West Side, Manhattan

Good cause is a tenant-protection category. It points you to buildings where certain rent increases and some non-renewal situations may be limited, but it does not guarantee every unit has the same protections. Confirm the exact building and lease terms before you apply.

There are 53+ studio apartments for rent in good cause buildings near the 2 Train in Upper West Side, Manhattan.

The median rent is $4,238. Use that as a budgeting benchmark, but actual asking rents can be higher or lower depending on the building, unit size, and lease terms.

Ask whether the unit is covered by the good cause rules, whether there are any renewal limits, and what fees apply at move-in. Also check the broker fee, security deposit, and any utilities you will pay separately.

Check building-level reviews and landlord feedback on Openigloo, then compare rent, commute access to the 2 Train, and the lease terms for each studio. That helps you spot patterns that are not obvious from the asking rent alone.

For a studio, the layout matters as much as the rent. Look at how the sleeping area fits with the kitchen, storage, and one bathroom, and make sure the space works for your daily routine.
