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

It’s a building-level signal based on observed tenant move/renewal patterns, used by Openigloo to flag buildings where tenants tend to remain longer. It’s a filter for building stability, not a guarantee about any specific apartment.

How does the “Q-train” part of the filter work?

It limits buildings to the Downtown Brooklyn area that are near the Q train corridor. Still, confirm the commute for your exact schedule by checking walking time and transfer options.

How many buildings match these filters in Downtown Brooklyn right now?

There are 22+ buildings matching the high-retention and Q-train filters in this scope.

Are the building ratings the same as tenant-retention?

No. Ratings reflect how rated buildings are evaluated on Openigloo, while high-retention is a separate filter signal about tenant stability. Use both when comparing buildings.

What should I confirm before signing a lease even if a building is “high-retention”?

Confirm the unit’s lease start/end dates, renewal and rent-change terms, building rules, and any move-in documentation requirements. Tenant-retention doesn’t replace reading the lease for your specific unit.

Is the “near the Q train” filter the same as being on top of the station?

Not necessarily. “Near” can still involve different walking distances and street conditions. Verify the route that fits your daily routine.

Which neighborhoods are trending in this scope right now?

Bushwick with 12,589+ buildings; Park Slope with 7,025+ buildings; Stuyvesant Heights with 7,834+ buildings; Flatbush with 5,564+ buildings; Clinton Hill with 4,040+ buildings.

What to check before for buildings with high tenant retention near the Q train in Downtown Brooklyn

Focus on tenant-retention “high-retention” signals combined with proximity to the Q train to find buildings that may have more stable move-in patterns.
Before scheduling a tour, confirm the practical commute: time of day can change walk time and transfer effort even within “near Q train.”
Check the specific lease terms for renewal, rent-change expectations, and any move-in requirements discussed in the building page notes or Q&A.
Review the fee and deposit details for the exact unit type you want, since out-of-pocket monthly cost can differ even when asking rents look similar.
Use the rated buildings information (rating sample) as one input, then compare multiple buildings rather than relying on a single data point.
