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

Good cause refers to a tenant-protection category, not a location. It points you to buildings where certain rent increases or non-renewals may be limited under the applicable rules.

There are 53+ studio apartments for rent in this page’s scope near the C Train in Upper West Side, Manhattan.

The median rent is $4,238. Use that as a planning reference, but still compare each apartment’s asking rent, fees, and lease terms.

No. Good cause is not an official affordable-housing program. It is a market listing filter tied to tenant-protection rules, so these are still market-rate apartments with asking rents and normal move-in costs.

Openigloo applies the good cause status at the building level using available rental data and tenant-protection criteria, so the page shows studio apartments in buildings that meet that status within the selected scope.

Check whether the building’s good cause status is current, then confirm the full monthly cost, including rent, utilities, broker fee if any, security deposit, and any other move-in charges.

With studios, one rent figure has to cover the sleeping area, kitchen setup, storage, and any single-bathroom layout, so a lower asking rent can still be tight if the unit is small or the fees are high.
