What does “high tenant retention” mean on this page?

It’s an Openigloo filter based on tenant staying power signals in the building history, designed to surface buildings where residents are more likely to remain rather than turn over quickly.

What does “R train” mean here?

It scopes buildings to the East Village area and highlights ones near the R subway line. You should still confirm the exact walk time from the building entrance to your usual R-train stop.

How should I use Openigloo reviews and ratings for these buildings?

Use them as a starting point, then verify in person. Look for patterns across rated buildings (rated buildings can still include variability by unit), and read any building-specific Q&A tied to move-in experience and maintenance.

Does high retention mean the building will approve my application easily?

No. Retention describes tenant turnover patterns, not approval likelihood. You’ll still need to meet the building’s income/credit requirements and any documentation rules.

Are there any extra costs beyond the advertised rent?

Yes. Even when you focus on high-retention buildings, the full monthly cost can include broker fees, deposits, and utilities. Confirm the breakdown before you apply or sign.

What if I care about transit noise or commute reliability?

Treat the R-train filter as proximity, not a guarantee. Visit at the times you’d actually commute, and ask about street noise, elevator timing, and how the building handles deliveries.

Which neighborhoods are trending right now in this scope?

Hell's Kitchen with 6,943+ buildings; Yorkville with 9,328+ buildings; Lenox Hill with 8,357+ buildings; Kips Bay with 4,472+ buildings; Fulton/Seaport with 1,758+ buildings.
