Neighborhood

Located in North Buffalo, Starin Central is a quaint community roughly five miles from downtown. Starin Central is worthy of its name since it offers a central location between the Buffalo Zoo, Delaware Park, and the University at Buffalo. Starin Central is popular with students as well as families for its small-town charm, good schools, park-like atmosphere, and proximity to big-city attractions. Shoshone Park and McCarthy Park offer athletic fields, playgrounds, and open green space. For more outdoor recreation and family-friendly fun, residents visit the zoo and Delaware Park nearby. Residents appreciate the neighborhood’s walkable, bike-friendly avenues and easy access to Main Street, connecting Starin Central to downtown. Paved sidewalks, abundant trees, and charming single-family homes line Starin Central’s residential streets. Although the city offers a great location for commuters, housing is very affordable.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) 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 family needs as part of the school selection process.

Not a good place to stay the staff lies about everything

There apartment are not in a good shape they lie to you too get you in there. It had’s rat running around the place and the some carpet but not all the way threw they also paint the floors brown, and they also have the old style radiator that ever hardly get hot in the winter. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

10/9/18
close to local colleges

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!
