Pre-war buildings near the SIM35 bus in Brooklyn

“Pre-war” covers buildings constructed before 1947. It’s based on building age criteria, not on a unit’s renovations or current condition.

It’s a commute-based filter that places eligible buildings along the SIM35 corridor area. Use the map on each building page to confirm the walking distance and typical stop location for your route.

Openigloo building pages pull together renter-first information such as ratings/reviews and building-level details. Use that context to narrow options, then reach out to confirm anything that affects your decision (fees, lease terms, amenities, and policies).

Reviews are useful, but they can’t capture every detail. Treat them as a starting point: ask management about current repairs, noise expectations, and how requests are handled now.

Confirm the practical living factors that can vary by building: heating/cooling setup, window condition and drafts, elevator reliability (if applicable), laundry access, and any known building system issues mentioned in recent reviews.

No. Bus travel time depends on traffic, stops, and schedule changes. Check your commute pattern and confirm the exact stops closest to the building.
