It’s the station-area scope Openigloo uses for building discovery. The exact walking distance can vary block by block, so confirm commute time from the specific address you’re considering.

Treat them as risk-and-process signals: what repairs take time, how management responds, and what renters report about noise or building operations. Then ask targeted questions on tour to confirm whether the issues still apply.

No. Open-data signals are context and may lag real-world conditions. Ask the building for the most recent documentation and a clear repair plan where issues are mentioned.

Ask what’s included in the lease (heat/hot water, water, trash) and what you pay separately. Also confirm any move-in costs, deposits, and any building-required fees before you commit.

Often, but not always. Compare unit-specific details (floor plan, natural light, window types, elevator access, laundry setup, and storage). For each building, verify what amenities exist today and how they’re maintained.
