Located at 356 Hertel Ave in Buffalo's vibrant Hertel Avenue corridor, this 1-bedroom, 1-bathroom unit showcases a compelling industrial-chic aesthetic rooted in its converted building origins. The open living and kitchen area is the heart of the space, anchored by a sleek island with a stainless steel sink, light quartz countertops, and charcoal gray cabinetry. A full suite of stainless steel appliances — including a range, microwave, and refrigerator — pairs with crisp white cabinetry and a subway tile backsplash to blend modern convenience with raw character. Polished concrete floors run throughout, complementing the soaring ceilings where exposed steel beams, wood decking, and industrial ductwork command attention. Original brick walls add warmth and texture, while large factory-style windows flood the living area with natural light. The generously sized primary bedroom offers ample room for a full bedroom suite. The bathroom features classic white subway tile wainscoting, a clean vanity, and a walk-in glass-enclosed shower. A hallway connects the rooms efficiently, completing this well-appointed urban retreat that masterfully balances historic character with contemporary finishes.

The secret is out – Buffalo is an idyllic city for renters on a budget with its low cost of living and affordable apartments. As the second largest city in the State of New York, Buffalo is a hub for innovators, entrepreneurs, artists, musicians, and so many more. Known as the Queen City, Buffalo is also nicknamed the “City of Light” because it was one of the first metropolises to benefit from the light powered by the Niagara River.
Nestled along Lake Erie, Buffalo is home to an array of lush parks and beautiful views. There’s no shortage of entertainment options in this major metropolitan area. Residents enjoy cheering on the Buffalo Bills at New Era Field, listening to live music at Canalside, and sipping a pint at one of the many local breweries in town. The city’s affluent past has left behind historic architecture, ranging from grand buildings in Downtown to 19th century Victorian mansions.

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 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.
