It refers to buildings constructed before 1947. On Openigloo, this filter helps you narrow by building age so you can compare common pre-war tradeoffs (layout, building systems, and renovation patterns) more consistently.

It’s a proximity-based scope. Use it to narrow where you look, then confirm real commute time for your usual schedule and confirm the exact route/transport options you’ll use.

The page combines eligibility criteria (pre-war building age) with the school proximity scope. That combination gives you a shorter, more relevant set of buildings to compare side by side.

Start with rated-building data plus tenant Q&A and review notes. Look for patterns around maintenance responsiveness, building management practices, and day-to-day issues that impact move-in and ongoing living.

No. Building age helps, but rent, lease terms, maintenance expectations, and move-in rules can vary widely. Use the comparisons to confirm details directly with the building before applying or signing.
