Should I rely on retention and reviews alone when choosing?

Use them to shortlist, but still confirm the specifics for your unit and move-in. Retention reflects patterns, not the exact experience of a particular apartment (pricing, condition, and policies can vary by unit).

What should I ask the building before signing a lease?

Ask about the exact lease term, total move-in costs (not just the asking rent), maintenance response for issues like heat/water, and any building rules that affect your day-to-day (laundry, package handling, access, smoking, and repairs).

Can I expect the neighborhood rating to tell me everything?

No. Openigloo’s neighborhood-level rating is a snapshot across rated buildings (not every building in the area). Use it as context, then validate the details on the specific building page and directly with leasing.
