What’s included in the “near the M31 bus” part of this page?

How should I use ratings on this page?

The average building rating shown here is 3.5/5 across 193 rated buildings. Treat it as a broad signal and then read the underlying renter Q&A and building details for the issues that matter to you.

Confirm total move-in and monthly costs, deposit/fee rules, maintenance and response expectations, renewal terms, and the practical commute to your work/school using the building’s exact M31 access.

Are there any limitations to using retention as a decision tool?

Yes. Retention is an aggregate signal, not a guarantee of how your unit will feel. Building policies, unit conditions, and management practices can change over time, so verify current processes directly with the building.
