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

It’s a building-level signal meant to reflect that renters tend to stay. Use it to narrow your search, then confirm the lease terms for the unit you’re considering.

How is this page different from just searching near the BM1 bus?

The BM1 part filters by location along your route, while the high-retention filter adds a renter-stay signal. The result is a smaller set of buildings (24+ right now) that match both.

Does high retention mean the building has no problems?

No. Retention can indicate stability, but issues like maintenance timelines, noise, or individual landlord practices can vary by unit and over time. Review tenant Q&A and ask the building directly.

What should I confirm before applying or signing a lease?

Confirm the exact rent and any renewal/rent-change language that applies to your unit, ask about maintenance response expectations, and review move-in costs (deposit, broker fee if applicable, and utilities expectations).

Are the tenant-retention signals based on tenant interviews I can read?

Openigloo pairs building signals with tenant Q&A and other available information. Use the Q&A to understand what people experienced, not just the building-level metric.

Which neighborhoods are trending on Openigloo right now?

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

How do I use this page to shortlist quickly?

Start by narrowing to the BM1 bus corridor, then focus on buildings with high tenant retention. From there, compare current availability, read tenant Q&A, and request the specific lease terms and costs for the unit.

What to check before for buildings with high tenant retention near the BM1 bus in Gramercy Park

Use the BM1 bus filter to focus your commute and daily route planning, then sort through the 24+ eligible buildings to shortlist where retention looks strongest.
Treat “high retention” as a lead signal, not a guarantee. Confirm in writing whether your exact unit faces any renewal, rent-change, or maintenance constraints.
Before applying, verify the full move-in budget: deposit, broker fee (if any), and typical utilities expectations in the lease.
If pets are a concern, confirm building-specific rules (fees and any breed/weight/count limits) for the specific unit you want.
Check current availability and ask how showings work for the unit type, especially if the building is actively leasing.
