What does “5-train” mean on this page?

It’s a location filter meant to keep results in Lenox Hill that are close to the 5 line. Still, proximity can vary by block—confirm the route and walking time for your exact commute.

What does “high-retention” mean for buildings?

High tenant retention is a signal that tenants often stay rather than move out quickly. It helps you prioritize stability, but you should still validate current building conditions and service quality.

How does Openigloo use tenant retention and building ratings here?

Openigloo shows buildings that match the filter pair (5-train + high tenant retention) and pairs that with available building-level signals such as the average rating across rated buildings.

Is high tenant retention a guarantee of quiet, fast repairs, or lease renewal?

No. Retention is an indicator, not a promise. Ask the building (and look for tenant Q&A where available) about maintenance turnaround, noise realities, and renewal/renegotiation practices.

What should I verify before signing a lease in these buildings?

Confirm the full monthly cost beyond rent (including typical fees and any required deposits), plus move-in readiness, lease start flexibility, and any unit-specific restrictions.

Which neighborhoods are trending in this scope?

East Village with 11,857+ buildings; Hell's Kitchen with 6,943+ buildings; Yorkville with 9,328+ buildings; Kips Bay with 4,472+ buildings; Fulton/Seaport with 1,758+ buildings.

Do I need to worry that retention data reflects past conditions?

Yes, it can lag real-world changes. Use the signal to narrow candidates, then ask the building directly about what’s changed recently (management, maintenance staffing, renovations).
