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

It’s a tenant-retention signal based on patterns in the building’s historical occupancy/tenancy data. Use it as a starting point, then confirm current conditions directly with the building.

How does the “near the R train” part work?

This page limits results to buildings in Gowanus that are close to the R train corridor. Still verify the exact stop and walking route you’ll use most often.

Does this guarantee that every unit will have the same experience?

No. Tenant-retention signals are building-level. Individual units can differ by layout, floor, noise exposure, and how maintenance requests are handled for that specific case.

What should I ask the super or leasing office before applying?

Ask about maintenance turnaround, any recent building issues, current move-in requirements, and how they handle noise, pests, or repairs. Also confirm any policies that come up in tenant Q&A.

Are there any fees or costs I should plan for beyond the asking rent?

Yes. Even with helpful building-level signals, the full monthly and move-in cost still matters. Confirm expected deposits, potential move-in fees, and whether utilities are included before committing.

Which neighborhoods are trending in this scope?

Bushwick with 12,589+ buildings; Downtown Brooklyn with 3,920+ buildings; Stuyvesant Heights with 7,834+ buildings; Flatbush with 5,564+ buildings; Park Slope with 7,025+ buildings.
