Rent-stabilized studio apartments for rent in good cause buildings in Upper West Side

It shows studio apartments for rent in Upper West Side that are marked as rent-stabilized and in good cause buildings. Those filters help you focus on apartments with tenant-protection rules, but they do not remove the need to verify the lease terms and fees.

There are 35 apartments for rent on this page, and the median rent is $3,821. That gives you a quick sense of supply and typical pricing for this scope.

No. This page uses a market-relative filter, not an official affordable-housing program. The apartments here are filtered by rent-stabilized and good cause status, not by income limits, subsidies, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8 rules.

Ask about broker fees, security deposit, utilities, lease length, move-in costs, and any building rules that affect your stay. Even with tenant-protection filters, the full monthly cost and lease terms can still vary.

Rent-stabilized homes are regulated for rent increases and renewal protections. Good cause buildings relate to protections on certain rent increases or non-renewals, but the exact effect depends on the unit and lease, so verify the details in writing.

A studio budget should account for the $3,821 median rent plus move-in costs and ongoing monthly expenses. Since this is a studio page, also think about whether the sleeping area, storage, and kitchen setup fit your needs.

Location within Upper West Side, building age, amenities, and lease terms can all affect your real monthly cost. A lower asking rent can still become expensive once fees, utilities, and deposit requirements are added.
