What does the good cause filter mean on this page?

It means the listings are in a tenant-protection category that can limit certain rent increases or non-renewals. It is not a neighborhood or a building amenity.

How many studio apartments are listed here?

There are 160 active studio listings in this scope as of 2026-05-05.

What is the median rent for these studios?

The median rent is $3,837, which can help you compare listings and set a budget before touring.

What should I confirm about a good cause apartment before applying?

Ask how the protections apply to the unit, including renewal terms, rent increase rules, and whether any lease language changes your expectations.

Are there extra fees or restrictions I should watch for?

Yes. Even with good cause protections, you should confirm application fees, broker fees, lease length, and any building-specific rules before you sign.

How should I evaluate a studio differently from a one-bedroom?

In a studio, the sleeping area, kitchen, and storage all share one space, so layout and furniture planning matter more than unit size alone.

Which neighborhoods show up often in this search scope?

Trending neighborhoods in this scope include Financial District, Upper West Side, Battery Park City, and Stuyvesant Town/PCV, along with several others across Manhattan and nearby areas.

Confirm the lease terms, any renewal rules, and whether the apartment’s pricing and protections match what you expect before you apply.
