Pre-war buildings near the Q train in Madison

It means the building was built before 1947. Use this filter to narrow by age, but still confirm current condition, systems, and any renovation history on the specific building and unit.

It’s a commute-based filter intended to surface buildings that are on a practical route to the Q train. Walking time can vary by exact address, so confirm the station stop you’ll use and the typical travel time.

This page does not apply a rent-stabilized or tenant-protection filter by itself. If you need those protections, add the matching Openigloo regulatory category filters to your search.

Openigloo aggregates renter-first reviews and open-data signals, but it can’t replace a direct building check. For pre-war buildings, ask about current heating, plumbing, pests, and maintenance response before you commit.

Read multiple answers and look for patterns (not just one-off complaints). Then ask targeted follow-ups to the building about what’s been repaired, how often issues come up, and who handles requests.

No. The Q line has multiple stops, and eligibility here is based on the building’s location relative to the line. Confirm which stop you’ll use and whether the walk aligns with your routine.
