How does the Q55 bus filter work for “near the Q55 bus”?

The filter is intended to surface buildings in the Richmond Hill area that align with the Q55 route for day-to-day commuting. Still, check walking time from each building to your most-used stops at the hours you’ll travel.

Question 3

How can Openigloo help me avoid surprises after I shortlist buildings?

Openigloo pairs building search with renter-first information such as ratings, photos, and tenant Q&A. Use those signals to generate a question list for the super/management before applying.

They’re not automatically better or worse. Pre-war buildings often come with different layouts and maintenance considerations, so confirm building systems and recent repairs during your visit and through management.

Question 5

What fees should I expect when applying for a pre-war building near the Q55?

Accepted Answer

Fees vary by building and broker arrangements, but you should confirm the application fee, security deposit, and whether a broker fee applies. Also verify what’s included in the monthly rent (utilities, amenities, laundry).
