Not necessarily. The filter reflects the building’s median asking rent versus the neighborhood median at the time the data was compiled. Your actual quoted rent, renewals, and any fees can still differ by unit and term.

Ask for the broker fee and deposit amounts, which utilities are included, any building fees, and how rent may change at renewal. Also confirm move-in date, paperwork requirements, and any restrictions that affect daily life.

Openigloo includes renter Q&A and review signals tied to specific buildings. Use that input as a starting point, then verify current conditions and availability with building management.

Budget for more than rent: include utilities and required fees, and treat deposits/one-time charges as part of your upfront cost. Then compare offers using the same cost assumptions across buildings.
