      June 11, 2025
      I regret moving here. Infested with mice. Looks nothing like the pictures. Everything falling apart and very outdated houses are on a slant literally have to prop one side of my tv stand just so it’s even. HORRIBLE!

    • close to local colleges

      October 9, 2018
      Great location for my room mate and I. He attends D'Youville and I attend ECC City Campus. Our rent includes all the utilities and parking. I can walk to the Amherst train station a block away and not have to deal with parking downtown. It's nice not to have to worry about parking tickets! Much better than dorming and much less expensive too!
