What does “high tenant retention” mean on Openigloo?

It’s a retention-focused filter that helps surface buildings where tenants tend to stay longer. It’s a starting signal, not a guarantee of any specific lease outcome for your unit.

How does the “near the M3 bus” part work?

It narrows the Washington Heights building set to those located along or close to the M3 bus route, so you can prioritize commute options and everyday transit access.

Are these buildings only available as rentals right now?

This page is scoped by the neighborhood + filter pairing, not by unit availability alone. Use Openigloo to check which buildings currently have apartments advertised.

What should I confirm with the building before applying or signing?

Confirm the exact rent and lease terms for the specific apartment, what’s included in the monthly cost, move-in fees/deposit requirements, and any operational details (laundry, packages, building access) that affect day-to-day living.

Can I rely on tenant retention as a proxy for building quality?

Tenant retention can be informative, but it doesn’t replace unit-specific checks. Still verify building maintenance responsiveness, current policies, and any recent changes through the building directly.

What to check before choosing a building with high tenant retention near the M3 bus in Washington Heights

Expect to compare buildings using the “high-retention” signal, then focus on those near the M3 bus for practical commute access.
Before signing, verify current rent terms, what’s included (utilities, internet, laundry), and any move-in fees listed for the specific unit.
Ask how tenant retention is reflected in policy: renewals, lease renewal process, and whether any recent changes affect ongoing stability.
Confirm building rules that can affect your everyday plans (laundry access, package delivery, elevator reliability, and guest policies).
If a building shows available apartments, compare the exact unit conditions (size, layout, floor, noise exposure) against your must-haves, not just the building filter.
