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

It groups buildings built before 1947. Use the building’s page to confirm the specific property details and ask what renovations were done since then.

How does the “Q18 bus” part of the search work?

The scope is tied to the Q18 bus corridor in Astoria. Check the exact stop and walking time for the unit you’re considering, since distances can vary block to block.

Are these buildings reviewed by renters on Openigloo?

Yes. You can view building-level signals and ratings based on 129 rated buildings in Astoria, and read tenant Q&A where available on individual building pages.

What should I confirm before signing a lease in a pre-war building?

Confirm the condition of major systems (heat, hot water, plumbing), any planned work, noise and insulation issues, laundry setup, and how repairs are handled—older buildings can be more variable unit to unit.
