What does “high-rise” mean on this page?

It’s based on building height—these are tagged as 13+ floors in the Openigloo building dataset.

What does “near the R train” mean here?

The page includes buildings mapped to the R subway route using Openigloo’s location signals. Still, confirm the closest entrance/stop and your actual walking time.

How many buildings match these filters right now?

There are 864+ buildings matching the high-rise + R train criteria (as of 2026-07-07).

Are these buildings all required to have the same amenities?

No. “High-rise” is only a height/location filter, not an amenity guarantee. Check each building page for the specific amenity list and whether access is included in your lease.

What should I verify with the building before applying?

Confirm lease term length, total monthly cost (not just asking rent), fees (application, deposit, broker/move-in costs), and any rules around guest access, packages, and maintenance requests.

Do reviews and open-data signals replace talking to the landlord or super?

No. Reviews and available signals help you shortlist, but you should still ask direct questions about current availability, policies, and how issues are handled in practice.

Can availability or pricing change after I view the page?

Yes. Availability and asking rents can change quickly. Use Openigloo to shortlist, then confirm details with the leasing office for the specific unit you plan to rent.
