What should I confirm with the building before applying?

Confirm the total move-in cost (not just the asking rent), required documentation, any deposit or fee schedule, and what lease terms look like for your unit type.

How close is “near the R train” in practical terms?

Use the building’s map/transit context on Openigloo, then double-check your walking time and transfer options for the stop you plan to use most.

Are there any data signals I should treat cautiously?

Yes. Open-data signals and aggregated ratings are a useful starting point, but they can lag real-world conditions. For anything that affects your decision (maintenance, noise, move-in process), ask the building directly.
