What does “high tenant retention” mean on this page?

It’s a filter based on tenant move-in/move-out patterns captured in Openigloo data, used to surface buildings where renters are more likely to stay. It’s a signal, not a guarantee—confirm building-specific terms in the lease.

How does the “2 train” part of the filter work?

The “2 train” filter limits the results to buildings near the 2 line so your commute aligns with where you’ll actually spend time each day. Distances can vary block to block, so check the exact location on each building page.

Are these buildings limited to a specific apartment type or size?

No. The filter pair focuses on location (near the 2 train) and retention patterns. Building pages will list the unit types that are currently available or commonly advertised, so check each option individually.

Does higher retention mean the building will be easy to renew or that rent increases will be low?

Not automatically. Retention can reflect many factors, but lease terms and renewal conditions still vary by building and unit. Use the lease language and ask directly about renewal timelines and how rent changes are handled.

What should I verify about maintenance and building operations?

Look for concrete examples in tenant reviews and tenant Q&A: response times for repairs, follow-through after maintenance requests, and clarity of communication. Retention signals can help you shortlist, but renters’ stories are what validate the day-to-day reality.

How can I estimate total move-in and monthly costs before scheduling a tour?

Review the full cost details provided for the unit (not just asking rent). Ask the broker/management about deposits and recurring charges, and confirm what’s included in monthly costs so you can plan for the complete budget.
