What does “high-retention” mean on Openigloo?

On Openigloo, “high-retention” is a data-driven signal designed to highlight buildings where tenants tend to stay longer. It’s a starting point, not a guarantee of how your specific unit or lease will play out.

How does the “r-train” filter work for Flatiron buildings?

The r-train filter focuses the building scope to places that are near the R subway line in/around Flatiron. Still, confirm the exact door-to-platform time for your preferred station entrance.

Are these buildings required to have the same tenant experience because they match the same filters?

No. Two buildings can share the same high-retention + r-train match but still differ by unit, management, and building operations. Use renter Q&A and building notes to see what’s consistent.

What should I verify before submitting an application?

Ask about current availability, lease start dates, any fees due at move-in, and building rules that affect daily life (laundry, packages, access to amenities, and any unit-specific constraints).

Does high tenant retention mean lower risk of issues?

It can correlate with stability, but issues still happen. Treat retention as one input and check recent questions/notes about repairs, responsiveness, and building maintenance.
