What does “pre-war” mean on this page?

It means the building is listed as built before 1947. Use this filter to target older building stock with its typical tradeoffs (layouts, maintenance history, and systems may vary by building).

What does “near the Q49 bus” cover?

It focuses your results on buildings located close to the Q49 route. The exact distance threshold can vary by how a building is mapped, so confirm walking time from the specific address.

How many buildings match these filters?

Openigloo shows 3,188+ pre-war buildings near the Q49 bus route (as of 2026-07-07).

Are Openigloo reviews and tenant Q&A enough to decide?

They’re a starting point. Use them to find patterns, then verify details directly with the building—especially for what’s changed recently (repairs, policies, and access).

What should I confirm before paying a deposit or applying?

Get clarity on the full move-in package: deposits/fees, what’s refundable, utilities and services included, and any lease terms (renewal expectations, notice requirements, and transfer/sublet rules if applicable).

Do these filters guarantee anything about building conditions?

No. “Pre-war” and “near the Q49 bus” describe when the building was built and its proximity to transit. Condition, management practices, and recent updates still vary by building.
