Buildings with high tenant retention near the Q8 bus in NYC

It’s Openigloo’s tenant-retention signal that identifies buildings where renters tend to stay for longer. It’s meant to help you focus on stability patterns, not to guarantee any specific experience for a particular unit.

Buildings are included based on their location relative to the Q8 bus corridor. Exact walk time depends on your chosen stop and the building entrance location, so confirm your route and the closest stop on a map.

No. The filter helps you shortlist buildings with a retention pattern, but vacancies still happen, and availability depends on what’s currently being advertised. Always check the specific apartment details for rent terms and move-in dates.
