How many buildings match this filter in Soho right now?

Openigloo shows 385+ eligible buildings on this page as of 2026-07-07.

Are the ratings on Openigloo specific to college proximity?

No. The ratings are building-level. College proximity is handled by the near-colleges filter; you should still read the building’s details and tenant Q&A for what will affect your day-to-day.

What should I verify with the building before signing, since I’m renting near a campus?

Confirm move-in timing, lease start/end flexibility, any occupancy or documentation requirements, and the full monthly cost (not just the asking rent). Also ask how the building handles package delivery and access.

Does being near colleges affect fees or lease requirements?

It can, but there’s no universal rule. Policies vary by building, so confirm broker fee expectations, deposits, and any lease terms directly with management before applying.

Can I use this page to find student-friendly lease terms?

You can use it to find buildings in the right location, but lease structure is building-specific. Look at tenant Q&A and confirm with the building about renewal approach, timing, and any documentation you’ll need as a renter.
