The filter scopes eligible buildings to those located near the SIM30 bus route area used by Openigloo for building discovery. It’s a location-based search filter, not a guarantee of walking distance from a specific stop.

The count reflects the live eligible set as of the snapshot date (2026-07-07). Availability and terms can change, so confirm directly with the building for the current asking rent and move-in dates.
