What does “pre-war” mean on this page?

It means the building was built before 1947. Use that as a starting point, then verify unit-level details like heating type, window condition, and any building systems updates.

What does “near the M2 bus” mean here?

The page filters buildings by their relationship to the M2 bus route. Still, walking time and stop access vary by block, so check the closest stop(s) and your route before you apply.

How can Openigloo help me compare buildings beyond photos?

Openigloo aggregates building signals such as renter Q&A and review-based context, plus open-data information where available. Use those to create a shortlist, then confirm details with the building for the specific unit.

Are there any cautions when using a location + age filter like this?

Yes. A building can match both filters but still have very different unit layouts, conditions, and lease terms. Don’t assume the same experience across units—confirm the specifics (renovations, noise, heating, and utilities) before signing.

How should I think about costs on a pre-war building rental?

Ask for the full monthly breakdown, not just the asking rent. Clarify utilities, deposits, any recurring fees, and whether the broker fee applies to your situation.

What should I confirm about lease terms for pre-war buildings?

Confirm the lease length, renewal and notice timelines, and any rules that affect move-in or maintenance requests. Pre-war buildings may have older systems, so ask how repairs are handled.
