What does the “high-retention” filter mean on this page?

It’s a tenant-retention-based signal that’s meant to help you focus on buildings where renters tend to stay longer. It’s not a guarantee for any single unit or lease cycle, so verify terms and expectations with the building.

How does the “M2 bus” part of the filter work?

The scope is the Upper West Side, and the location filter ties eligible buildings to the M2 bus corridor/area. Still, ask about the exact walk time from your preferred entrance and which direction you’ll commute most often.

How can I use Openigloo reviews and Q&A with these filters?

Use them to build a question list before you apply: maintenance follow-through, noise patterns, responsiveness, and any leasing-process friction that renters mention. Then confirm during your tour or by email with management.

Does high tenant retention mean the building is always affordable or easier to qualify for?

No. Retention is one signal about renter stability, not a proxy for rent level, income requirements, or application acceptance. Review the current asking rent and the building’s screening criteria before you spend time on a unit.

What should I verify before signing a lease even if the building matches these filters?

Get clarity in writing on the renewal process, any move-in fees (application, admin, and security deposit terms), utility responsibilities, and the building’s rules for packages, guests, and any building access requirements.

Are these signals based on real-world conditions today?

They’re derived from available Openigloo data and building-level signals, but details can change. If something seems inconsistent with what you see or hear during the tour, ask management to confirm.
