What does “2 train + pre-war” mean on this page?

It’s a combined filter: buildings in the Bronx that are pre-war (built before 1947) and positioned near the 2 train corridor. Each result should match both criteria.

How many buildings are included right now?

There are 7,277+ eligible buildings currently showing under this multi-filter scope.

Do the pre-war details come with verification or just an age label?

Age-based filtering is based on building information available to Openigloo. You should still confirm condition, renovations, and current maintenance practices directly with the building.

What should I double-check before signing a lease for a pre-war building?

Prioritize heat/hot water reliability, elevator status (if applicable), plumbing condition, and any documented pest-control practices. Also confirm how repairs are handled and what the turnaround process looks like.

Will reviews and tenant Q&A reflect current conditions?

They can highlight patterns, but conditions can change between reviews. Use them as leads, then verify key points during your viewing and in follow-up questions to management.

Are there additional costs besides the monthly rent to plan for?

Yes. Even when you find a building you like, you’ll want to budget for the full move-in picture, including broker fees (if applicable), deposits, and any building-required charges.

Which neighborhoods are trending in this Bronx scope?

Concourse with 1,709+ buildings; Fordham with 967+ buildings; University Heights with 836+ buildings; Soundview with 2,493+ buildings; Norwood with 741+ buildings.

If you want older housing stock near subway access, this is the place to start narrowing by location.
