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

It’s a tenant-retention filter intended to highlight buildings where residents tend to stay longer. It’s a signal from building history, not a promise about any specific unit you might rent next.

What does “r-train” include here?

The filter is focused on Kips Bay buildings near R train service. Use it to reduce walking/commute uncertainty, then confirm the exact route time for your typical travel window.

How should I compare 55+ options without relying on retention alone?

Use Openigloo’s building rating for rated buildings, then validate the fundamentals: lease terms, move-in timeline, deposits/fees, and any building policies that apply to your household.

Are there any “gotchas” I should verify before signing?

Yes. Retention signals don’t replace unit-level due diligence. Confirm your lease start date, renewal/termination terms, what’s included (heat, hot water, utilities), and any rules that affect daily living (packages, visitors, laundry).

What should I ask during a tour in a high-retention building?

Ask how maintenance requests are handled, what the typical response time is, how building staff coordinates repairs, and whether there have been recent changes to policies or building operations.

Do Openigloo ratings and Q&A reflect the current condition of every unit?

They reflect renter-reported experience and building-level signals available through Openigloo, which can lag real-world changes. Treat them as starting points and still request current confirmation from the building.

Which neighborhoods are trending in this scope, and how many buildings are showing up?

East Village with 11,857+ buildings; Yorkville with 9,328+ buildings; Hell’s Kitchen with 6,943+ buildings; Lenox Hill with 8,357+ buildings; Fulton/Seaport with 1,758+ buildings.
