Does high tenant retention mean the building will be a good fit for me?

What to check before for buildings with high tenant retention near transit in West Harlem

Expect a shortlist of buildings where Openigloo’s near-transit and high-retention filters align for West Harlem locations.
Confirm what “near transit” means for your route: walk time to your lines/stations, service changes, and platform crowding at your travel hours.
Tenant retention is a useful signal, not a guarantee. Still ask about unit turnover patterns, maintenance response times, and recent policy changes.
Before applying, verify move-in costs (deposit, any broker fee, and whether utilities are separate) and ask for the exact lease start/end dates.
Check for practical building-by-building differences that can matter day to day, even when the filters match, such as package handling rules and laundry access.
