Pre-war buildings near the BX17 bus in NYC

It refers to buildings constructed before 1947. On this page, Openigloo uses that building age signal to group eligible buildings so you can compare similar construction-era properties.

This page is scoped to buildings located along or near the BX17 route corridor. Because “near” can vary by stop, you should still confirm the walk time from the specific stop you’d use most.

4,293+ buildings currently match these filters on Openigloo (as of 2026-07-07).

Verify the condition of major systems and the unit’s specifics (heating/hot water performance, window condition, water pressure, and any recent renovations). Ask how maintenance is handled in practice, since pre-war buildings can vary widely by property.

Pre-war status alone doesn’t guarantee any specific lease restriction. Lease terms depend on the individual building and unit, so confirm renewal terms, rent changes, and any fee/house rules with the landlord or manager.

Openigloo aggregates renter input and open-data indicators where available, but real-world conditions can change. Treat signals as a starting point and verify key details directly with the building before you sign.

Use Openigloo’s “with available apartments” view (or equivalent availability signals) to avoid planning around buildings that match the filters but may not have a current listing.
