    • The best apartment building in Buffalo by far!

      June 19, 2025
      I cannot say enough good things about this apartment building! It's absolutely gorgeous with top-notch amenities that truly elevate everyday living. But what really sets this place apart is the property manager, Lenore. She goes above and beyond for her tenants every single day. Whether it’s helping with move-in logistics, handling maintenance requests with lightning speed, or just being a warm and welcoming presence in the building! I have lived in the city for 10 years and I can honestly ...
      say, you won’t find a better-run building anywhere in Buffalo. The level of care, professionalism, and responsiveness is unmatched. Living here has been an absolute pleasure!

    • I love it here!

      June 13, 2025
      I’ve had a fantastic experience living at the Police Apartments. The building is beautifully renovated with modern amenities, and the location can’t be beat—right in the heart of downtown. The property manager, Lenore, is incredibly responsive, friendly, and truly goes above and beyond for residents. Highly recommend this place for anyone looking for stylish, comfortable city living!

    • I feel like I live in a hotel

      November 11, 2022
      If I could give more stars I would. My boyfriend and I just moved here a month ago and honestly have no complaints. We ordered an instacart and the delivery person literally asked us if this was a hotel. There’s a gym available 24/7 as well as a lounge. We have a bevi machine, multiple keurig machines along with a variety of pods available for. The cleaning people are so nice, we see Barb everyday and she is the absolute best! Also HUGE should Alycia the property manager who is present on site ...
      daily. She truthfully has been the nicest and most accommodating property agent we interacted with ever. She even did a virtual tour with us when others could not be bothered. The building is quiet, calm, and classy. Exactly what you’d expect when you hear ‘luxury apartments’.

    • Very Happy with My Choice

      May 13, 2022
      The location and amenities are ideal. A great selection of units and parking options. The property manager and the residential manager are excellent! They are very helpful and proactive. Out of all the places I could’ve selected for Downtown Buffalo, I’m glad I chose this one. I do feel safe and secure at this location as well. Do indeed request a tour. Very informational.
