What does “high tenant retention” mean on Openigloo?

It’s a tenant-behavior signal that flags buildings where renters tend to stay over time. It helps you prioritize buildings to inspect, but it doesn’t replace direct questions about your specific unit, lease renewal, and any recent management changes.

How does the “C train” part of this page work?

The scope is West Chelsea buildings near the C train. Still, walk and transit timing can vary by block and entrance, so verify the commute route you plan to use.

Do high-retention buildings still have unit-level differences?

Yes. Retention is building-level behavior, while your unit experience can differ based on floor plan, exposure, condition, and lease terms. Confirm details like repairs response, utilities, and move-in timeline during your tour.

What should I ask about lease renewal if retention looks strong?

Ask about renewal availability, expected rent changes at renewal, and whether there are any upcoming building-wide changes. Also ask how long similar tenants typically remain for the unit type you’re considering.

Are the ratings on these buildings based on a large sample?

The West Chelsea stats include an average building rating across 35 rated buildings. Use it as context, then read the tenant Q&A and the specific building details before you decide.

Is it possible for a building to have high retention but still be a mismatch for me?

Yes. Retention can reflect factors like landlord consistency, building policies, or layout preferences. You still need to validate fit on your priorities: commute, noise, amenities, and costs tied to move-in.
