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

It’s a tenant-retention signal derived from building-level data trends on Openigloo. Use it as a screening cue, then verify the current lease terms and building policies directly with the property.

What does the “M42 bus” part of the filter cover?

It narrows buildings to those near the M42 bus corridor in Hell’s Kitchen. Commuting convenience still depends on your exact route and walking time, so confirm the stops you’ll use.

How many buildings match these filters right now?

There are 118+ buildings on this page that meet the high-retention + M42 bus criteria (as of 2026-07-07).

How should I use Openigloo for decision-making here?

Start with the filter pair to narrow options, then review building-level information and rated-building signals. After that, check the lease, fees, and any “as-is” rules with the building before you sign.

Are higher retention buildings always easier to rent from?

Retention signals can indicate smoother tenant experiences, but eligibility, documentation requirements, and lease constraints are still set by each building. Confirm requirements, timelines, and renewal terms with the leasing office.

What costs should I not overlook even if the commute looks good?

Confirm the full monthly cost beyond any headline rent: security/deposit, any broker fee, and utility inclusion or separate billing. Ask how those items affect your total move-in and monthly budget.
