What does “C train” mean in this building search?

It’s the location filter: buildings are grouped by proximity to the C train service. For each building page, confirm the nearest stop(s), walking route, and real commute time for your schedule.

What does “high tenant retention” mean here?

It’s a tenant-retention filter based on Openigloo’s building-level indicators, aiming to surface buildings where renters tend to stay. Use it as a starting point, then verify conditions at the time you plan to move in.

How should I use tenant-retention signals when comparing buildings?

Treat retention as a correlation, not a guarantee. Compare it with the unit-specific details (net effective rent after any fees, availability window, and the lease terms) and ask targeted questions in tenant Q&A.

Do reviews on Openigloo cover the whole building?

They reflect rated buildings and reported experiences, but units and timeframes can differ. Read multiple notes where available, and still ask the building directly about current policies and maintenance timelines.

Is this page only for rent-stabilized or regulated apartments?

No. This page is defined by location (near the C train) and the multi-filter pair (high tenant retention). It doesn’t automatically mean rent-stabilized or any other regulatory category—check each building’s unit details.

Which neighborhoods should I start with if I’m focused on the C train?

Openigloo can help you narrow by borough-wide filters, but it can also be useful to start with popular nearby areas and then compare building-level details. In this scope, trending neighborhoods include East Village with 11,857+ buildings, Hell's Kitchen with 6,943+ buildings, Yorkville with 9,328+ buildings, Lenox Hill with 8,357+ buildings, and Kips Bay with 4,472+ buildings.

What should I confirm before I apply to a building?

Confirm the full move-in picture: the exact rent for your unit, deposit and any required fees, lease start/end dates, renewal/notice rules, and current building policies (maintenance, package handling, and any operational practices). Use the building page and tenant Q&A, then ask the leasing office for written confirmation.
