If you choose pre-war buildings, it’s smart to expect more variation in condition and building systems. Use the building details and tenant Q&A, then confirm specifics with management during your tour.

Ask about heating performance, window condition and drafts, plumbing and hot-water recovery, pest-control routines, and how maintenance requests are handled day-to-day.

Not necessarily. “Near” can still mean different walk times and noise levels depending on the stop and which side of the street the building is on—confirm the walk with your own map or visit at the time of day you’ll commute.
