What to check before choosing a high-rise building near the B train in Washington Heights

  • Expect mostly 16+ story buildings; verify the specific floor count, elevator setup, and any move-in restrictions directly with the building.
  • Use the B-train filter to sanity-check commute time by confirming the nearest station entrance(s) you’ll use most.
  • Before you apply, ask about the full monthly cost beyond rent (broker fee, security deposit, and utilities if not included).
  • If you’re planning to bring a roommate or pets, confirm building rules on occupancy and pet policies; filters don’t replace a building’s written requirements.
  • Check what’s currently advertised on Openigloo for each building so you’re comparing like-for-like units, not just the property in general.
