Renters Reviews and Ratings
Great place to live
October 20, 2025 - Review from Apartments.com
The staff is amazing! They are always so responsive and respectful! Sara has helped me so many times. Over all the staff and the building make the experience of living her so comfortable.
Not good
October 24, 2024 - Review from Apartments.com
This building is cheaply made, only 1 parking spot (costs $50-75). The ac is always breaking, the gym isn’t the best, constant fire alarms and the doors do not work. I highly recommend living elsewhere.
Great complex awesome location
May 24, 2024 - Review from Apartments.com
Looking for a place near UB North campus and this is perfect. I took a tour of the complex and love that they showed me all the options (studio, 1 bed and 2 bed). Great apartments and lovely people.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on scale of 1 (below average) and to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider needs as part of the school selection process.
