What does “high tenant retention” mean on Openigloo?

It’s a tenant-behavior signal used to surface buildings where residents tend to stay longer. Use it as an indicator, then confirm with the building directly for your specific lease and unit.

What does “5-train” cover in this page?

The page targets East Harlem buildings that fall near the 5 train corridor, so commutes along that line are easier to compare across multiple buildings.

How should I use tenant Q&A when evaluating these buildings?

Read Q&A for patterns, not single incidents. Focus on whether multiple tenants mention the same topic (maintenance turnaround, communication, building policies) and whether timelines match what you expect.

Are there any lease or move-in details I should confirm before applying?

Yes. Ask about lease renewal expectations, any building policy changes, and the full move-in/ongoing costs that apply to the unit you’re considering—not just the advertised rent.

Does high retention guarantee a good experience for every apartment?

No. Retention is a building-level signal. Unit condition, floor, exposure, and how a particular issue is handled can still differ by apartment and timing.

Which neighborhoods are trending in this scope?

East Village with 11,857+ buildings; Yorkville with 9,328+ buildings; Lenox Hill with 8,357+ buildings; Hell's Kitchen with 6,943+ buildings; Kips Bay with 4,472+ buildings.
