What does “3-train + pre-war” mean on this Openigloo page?

It’s a combined filter: buildings in Midtown South that are near the 3 train and that were built before 1947 (pre-war).

How many buildings match these filters right now?

There are 37+ buildings in this scope that match the 3-train + pre-war criteria.

Is the “pre-war” label based on current condition or original construction date?

On Openigloo, pre-war refers to the construction era (built before 1947). You should still confirm current condition during a viewing or via the building/management team.

How should I use the ratings on Openigloo for decision-making?

Use them as a signal, not as a substitute for due diligence. Look at what renters mention about day-to-day issues, then verify key items directly with the building.

What should I ask the building about before signing a lease?

Ask about included utilities, up-front fees, deposit and move-in requirements, elevator and laundry access (if applicable), and any lease terms that affect renewal or move-out.

Do the 3-train proximity results mean the commute is identical for every apartment?

No. Street-level distance, station entrances, and walking routes can change commute time. Confirm the route you’d use and the closest stop for each building.

Which neighborhoods are trending in this scope?

East Village with 11,857+ buildings; Yorkville with 9,328+ buildings; Hell's Kitchen with 6,943+ buildings; Lenox Hill with 8,357+ buildings; Kips Bay with 4,472+ buildings.
