Buildings with high tenant retention near the QM5 bus in Kips Bay

It’s Openigloo’s high-retention filter, designed to surface buildings where tenants tend to stay longer than average. Use it as a signal, then confirm specifics with the building because retention doesn’t guarantee the current unit or management experience.

It means the building is in the Kips Bay area that matches the QM5 bus proximity filter. Walking distance and timing can differ block-to-block, so verify access for your route.

There are 9+ buildings on this page that meet the high-retention + qm5-bus criteria (as of 2026-07-07).

Ask the building about current management processes, maintenance response times, renewal practices, any building rules that affect day-to-day living, and the full cost breakdown (application fees, deposits, and recurring charges beyond asking rent).

No. It’s a helpful screening signal, not a guarantee. Tenants can stay for many reasons, and your unit, floor, and lease terms can still change the day-to-day experience.

Openigloo groups signals by building so you can compare quickly, then use tenant Q&A and rated-building context to ask sharper questions before you commit.
