Pre-war buildings near the Q56 bus in Kew Gardens

It’s the filter that limits buildings to those built before 1947. Use the building’s details on Openigloo to confirm the specific entry for the address before you tour or apply.

This page groups buildings that match the Q56-bus filter. Still, walking time and convenience can vary by block, so confirm your route and access during your typical travel hours.

Openigloo shows an average rating based on the rated buildings that have enough signals to compute a score. Not every building will have a rating, but you can still compare details and read tenant Q&A.

Older buildings can vary widely by renovation level and maintenance practices. Before signing, verify how heat/hot water work, how laundry is handled, and whether there have been recent updates to systems mentioned in Q&A.

No. The filters match the building’s type and the transit-based criterion, not the exact unit condition or whether a specific apartment is available at the moment. Check the currently available apartments on each building page.

Use Openigloo to shortlist and generate questions, then confirm with the building, leasing office, or broker in writing—especially for current fees, lease terms, and any recent policy or maintenance changes.
