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

It means the building was built before 1947, based on the building record used by Openigloo’s filters.

How does the “near the E train” part of the search work?

The page is scoped to Soho buildings that match the E-train proximity filter. Because proximity can vary by block and station exit, you should verify the exact commute time for your target station.

Is the building count (290+) the total number of Soho pre-war E-train options?

No—290+ is the live count of eligible buildings that match this filter pair on Openigloo right now.

How can I use Openigloo reviews for pre-war buildings?

Start with the rated-building average (3.5/5 across 39 rated buildings), then read the tenant Q&A for recurring issues like maintenance responsiveness, noise, and building management practices.

What should I ask about before applying?

Ask about elevator and heat performance, any recent building-wide repairs, and how the building handles maintenance requests. If the building has known constraints (older plumbing, older wiring, window condition), request specifics in writing.

Are there any common lease terms I should double-check with pre-war buildings?

Yes. Confirm move-in costs and what’s included (utilities, any recurring fees), plus the lease start date flexibility and any rules on pets, roommates, and sublets, since these can vary by building.

Which neighborhoods are trending right now in this scope?

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