Pre-war buildings near the Q48 bus in Kew Gardens Hills

It means the building is flagged as built before 1947 in the dataset used by Openigloo. You should still confirm any renovation history directly with the building.

The page uses the Q48 bus route to scope which buildings are included. When you visit, confirm which direction/stops are closest to the unit you’re considering.

This page’s count is for eligible buildings matching the filters (pre-war + Q48 bus scope). To see what’s available, open the buildings on Openigloo and check the current apartment availability for each one.

Ask about heating and hot water, window/insulation condition, any recent renovations, noise levels between units, and the building’s process for repairs. Also confirm how utilities are handled in your specific lease.

It can. Even when the filter only sets the building profile (pre-war + route scope), move-in costs and rules vary by building. Always review the lease terms and ask what fees and deposits apply to your unit.

Hunters Point with 2,110+ buildings; Ridgewood with 3,826+ buildings; Sunnyside with 1,960+ buildings; Ditmars-Steinway with 2,222+ buildings; Forest Hills with 1,363+ buildings.

Start with the filters (pre-war + Q48 bus), then read building-level notes and tenant Q&A for recurring issues. Use that to write a targeted question list for the super/management during the tour.
