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

It means the building was built before 1947. Older construction can affect maintenance needs, building systems, and renovation timelines, so it’s worth asking detailed questions before committing.

How does “near the BX1 bus” work for building matching?

The filter groups buildings in the Bronx that fall within Openigloo’s proximity criteria to the BX1 bus route. Still, commute quality can vary by block and walking routes.

Are there currently available apartments in these pre-war buildings?

This page is focused on building scope (pre-war + BX1 proximity). Availability can change, so use Openigloo to check which buildings currently have apartments advertised.

What should I confirm with a building when touring a pre-war building?

Ask about heat/hot water reliability, elevator service if applicable, recent and planned maintenance, pest-control practices, and how issues are handled when they come up.

Do Openigloo reviews and Q&A replace asking the leasing office questions?

No. Treat them as a starting point. Use them to find what to verify, then confirm details directly with building staff because unit conditions and handling can vary.

What move-in costs should I budget for beyond the asking rent?

Even if you’re focused on buildings near transit, you should still budget for the full monthly cost and move-in requirements, including broker fee, deposit, and utilities or building charges that may not be reflected in the asking rent.

Which neighborhoods are trending in this scope?

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