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

It means the buildings match the pre-war age filter (built before 1947, per Openigloo’s criteria). Use it as a starting point, then confirm building condition and any modernization directly with management.

How should I use “near the M1 bus” when comparing buildings?

Treat it as a neighborhood-transport filter, not a commute guarantee. Check the closest stop to each building, typical walk time, and service frequency that fits your schedule.

This page shows 604+ buildings matching the pre-war + M1 bus scope as of 2026-07-07.

Does the building rating reflect unit quality?

Ratings are based on rated buildings and renter-reported signals, but they can’t replace an in-person (or virtual) walkthrough. Confirm the specific unit’s condition, noise level, and maintenance response with the leasing team.

What should I ask before signing a lease in an older (pre-war) building?

Ask about recent renovations, heating and hot water performance, pests history and current prevention, window/insulation condition, and any upcoming work that could affect your apartment.

Where does Openigloo data come from?

Openigloo combines building research signals with renter input so you can compare buildings with more context than photos alone. Still, verify key terms (fees, lease start date, utilities, and building rules) with the building.
