Studio apartments in good cause buildings for rent near W Train in West Village, Manhattan

It means the apartments are in buildings covered by New York City's good cause tenant-protection rules. That can limit certain rent increases and non-renewals, but it does not change the asking rent or remove the need to review the lease.

This page currently shows 25+ studio apartments for rent near the W Train in West Village, Manhattan.

The median rent is $5,076. Use that as a quick reference point when comparing studio budgets, especially if you are weighing location against space and monthly costs.

Ask whether the unit is covered by the law, how renewals are handled, and whether the landlord is applying any fees, deposits, or lease clauses that affect move-in or renewal timing.

No. Good cause is not income-restricted, subsidized, housing-lottery, NYCHA, HPD, or Section 8 housing. It is a tenant-protection category that may affect rent increases and some non-renewals, but the apartments are still market-rate.

With studios, the unit count, median rent, and your monthly budget matter together because you are balancing price, layout, storage, and proximity to the W Train in a small footprint.

Confirm the full monthly cost, any broker fee or deposit, utility responsibility, whether the bathroom is private, and how much usable space the sleeping and kitchen areas actually have.
