Studio apartments in good cause buildings for rent near M21 Lower East Side - West Village in West Village, Manhattan

It means the apartments for rent are in buildings that may fall under tenant-protection rules that can limit certain rent increases or non-renewals. Do not assume every unit in the building is covered the same way; confirm the building’s status and how it applies to the unit you want.

There are 33+ studio apartments for rent on this page. The median rent is $5,087, which helps set expectations for budget planning, but the final monthly cost can be higher once you add fees and utilities.

No. This page is not an official affordable-housing program. “Good cause” is a tenant-protection category, not income-restricted housing, subsidized housing, NYCHA, HPD, Section 8, or a lottery unit.

Openigloo uses building-level status tied to the good cause category, which is about tenant protections rather than a price cutoff. The page then shows apartments for rent that match that scope near the M21 corridor in West Village, Manhattan.

Confirm whether the unit is covered, what the lease renewal rules are, whether there are application or move-in fees, and whether the building has any restrictions that affect your tenancy. The asking rent is only part of the total monthly cost.

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

Location near transit, building age, amenities, lease terms, and move-in fees can all change the real cost. A lower asking rent can still become expensive once you add deposits, broker fees, utilities, and any required paperwork.
