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

It’s a filter built to surface buildings where tenants tend to stay rather than churn. Use it to narrow your options, then still verify the unit-specific lease terms, upgrades, and any restrictions before applying.

What does “near the J train” cover?

This page applies a location constraint tied to the J line area around Lower East Side. Walk the route at your typical time and confirm distance to the exact station entrance you’ll use most.

Are all of these buildings showing available apartments right now?

This page is scoped to eligible buildings based on the two filters and the live building_count. To see current availability, open a building and check whether units are advertised on Openigloo.

How should I use tenant Q&A and reviews when I’m filtering for retention?

Treat retention as a shortlist signal, not a promise. Read tenant Q&A for recurring issues (maintenance timing, communication, noise) and confirm any action items with the building directly.

What fees or lease details should I verify before moving forward?

Ask for the full move-in and monthly breakdown: broker fee (if any), security deposit, utilities or service costs, and any restrictions that affect your ability to stay (renewal terms, required paperwork, or transfer policies).

Does the retention filter account for my specific unit and situation?

No. Retention reflects building-level patterns. Your experience can vary by unit, lease length, and how management applies building rules, so confirm the details for the exact unit you’d rent.

Which neighborhoods are trending in this scope?
