Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find apartments near the subway in NYC?

Enter any NYC address on DwellCheck to instantly see walking distance to all nearby subway stations. We show exact walk times, which subway lines are available, and give you a transit score to compare different addresses.

How is the transit score calculated?

Transit scores are based on walking distance to subway entrances (most important), number of available subway lines, bus stop proximity, and Citibike station access. Addresses within 5 minutes of a subway score highest.

What subway data does DwellCheck use?

We use official MTA subway entrance location data from NYC Open Data. This includes all subway station entrances across all lines, updated regularly to reflect any changes to the system.

Does DwellCheck show bus routes?

Yes, we analyze nearby bus stops and routes. While subway access is weighted more heavily (since it is faster and more reliable), good bus coverage can boost your transit score, especially in areas farther from subway lines.

Can I see commute times to specific locations?

DwellCheck shows walking time to nearby transit options. For commute planning to specific destinations, we recommend using Google Maps or the MTA Trip Planner once you know which stations are nearby.

What about Citibike availability?

We show all Citibike stations within walking distance, including real-time availability of classic bikes, e-bikes, and empty docks. This is especially useful for last-mile commuting or quick trips around the neighborhood.
