What to check before choosing a pre-war building near the R train in Manhattan
- Expect older building stock: confirm heating setup, hot-water reliability, and how maintenance is handled day to day.
- Check commute reality: “near the R train” can still mean different walk times depending on your exact stop and time of day.
- Review lease terms carefully for rent amount, renewals, and any move-in requirements that can vary by building.
- Ask about current building systems and upgrades (elevators, intercoms, laundry, and any recent façade/roof work).
- For fees, confirm what’s due at signing (application fees, deposit, and any move-in fees) beyond the advertised rent.
