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

It refers to building age: the building was constructed before 1947. Use the filter to focus your search on older NYC building stock.

What does “near the SIM2 bus” include?

It filters buildings by their proximity to the SIM2 route area. If you need a very tight distance threshold (for example, under 5–10 minutes on foot), confirm the exact walk time when you tour.

How many buildings match these filters right now?

As of 2026-07-07, there are 7,095+ matching buildings on Openigloo.

Are the neighborhood and route filters the same as a commute time guarantee?

No. Proximity is not the same as commute time. Traffic, transfer points, and walking routes can change your actual trip—check your schedule with real walking paths.

What should I confirm specifically for pre-war buildings?

Start with essentials that affect daily life: heat reliability, hot water, elevator performance (if applicable), water pressure, laundry availability, and maintenance turnaround. Ask whether any systems were recently updated.

Will “near the SIM2 bus” mean I’ll hear bus noise at night?

Not always, but it can. Street-facing or corner units tend to be louder. Ask for unit-specific details and consider testing with a daytime and evening viewing.

Do I still need to verify fees and move-in costs beyond the rent?

Yes. Even when buildings look affordable on monthly rent, you may still have full move-in costs such as deposit, broker fee (if applicable), and building/admin charges. Confirm the complete monthly and upfront totals before you apply.
