What to check before choosing a pre-war building near the 5 train in Midwood

  • Confirm the building is truly pre-war (built before 1947) on the building page before touring.
  • Check for practical commute fit: verify walking/transfers to the 5 train from your specific unit location and schedule.
  • Use the “rated buildings” set as a reality check: look at the rating on the building page and read the underlying comments, not just the score.
  • Ask about elevator status, laundry access, and heat/hot-water setup; older buildings often vary by property.
  • Before signing, request the full monthly cost breakdown (rent, any required fees, and likely move-in charges) so you can compare units apples-to-apples.
