What does “5-train + pre-war” mean on this page?

How many eligible buildings are in Manhattan for these filters?

Openigloo shows 4,524+ buildings in this scope that match “5-train + pre-war.”

Are the 5-train and pre-war filters based on the apartment, or the building?

They’re building-level filters. The building’s age classification and its proximity to the 5 train are used to determine eligibility; the specific unit may still have different layout, floor, and amenities.

What should I confirm before signing a lease in a pre-war building near the subway?

Confirm practical items that affect day-to-day living: noise levels from street transit, heating/hot water behavior, elevator reliability, and any move-in policies (deposits, paperwork, access rules).

Does Openigloo provide review info for all these buildings?

Openigloo surfaces building signals and tenant-focused Q&A where available. Even when a building has limited signals, you should still ask the building directly about fees, repairs, and policies for the specific unit you want.

Is “near the 5 train” a guaranteed commute time?

No. It’s a proximity filter. Your actual ride and walk time depend on the exact entrance you use, the stop you transfer at, and timing—so check the route for your typical commute hours.

Does the page include only rent-regulated or income-restricted housing?

No. This page is about pre-war buildings near the 5 train, not a regulatory program or income-restricted program.
