What does “high-retention” mean on Openigloo?

It means the building shows patterns consistent with tenants staying longer. Use it as a signal, not a guarantee—policies and unit conditions can change over time.

How do I use the “SIM6 bus” part of this page?

This filter narrows buildings to the East Village area near the SIM6 route. Double-check the closest stop from the building’s address and how long it takes on your usual schedule.

Are these buildings all currently advertising apartments?

This page is scoped to the East Village neighborhood and filtered by high-retention + SIM6-bus. It does not automatically mean every building has an available unit right now, so check current apartment availability on each building page.

What should I verify with the building before signing?

Confirm the specific unit details (layout, rent, utility responsibility), lease terms (renewal and move-out notice), and any fees tied to your situation. Even with strong tenant retention, costs and policies can vary by unit.

How reliable are the retention and building signals?

Openigloo’s signals are based on observed patterns in the available data, but real-world experiences can differ by floor plan, management, and timing. Use them to shortlist, then validate directly with the building.

Which neighborhoods are trending in this scope right now?

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.

Is tenant retention the same as building quality?

They’re related but not identical. A building can show high retention for reasons like location or unit layouts, while day-to-day service and maintenance can still vary. Use Openigloo reviews and tenant Q&A to confirm what matters to you.
