City - Buffalo

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.

Cozy Apartments in a nice area

We rent a 1bd apartment that is very spacious and includes a balcony porch. The floors have clean carpeting and the kitchen has a nice bar area connected to the kitchen. Maintenance staff is always on call and shows up in a timely manner and is very nice. Kim the property manager is very nice and easy to talk to about problems and concerns. Great place to live especially if you work around niagara falls boulevard or anywhere on sheridan or elmwood.

3/22/21
Convenient Location

I lived at New Sheridan Drive Apartments - managed by MJ Peterson. Both Olde Towne and New Sheridan are serviced by the same property manager. The manager is quite responsive in addressing concerns. While the apartment is not brand new, it is generally clean and nice and it is quite close to Walmart and Wegmans. Work orders are easy to place and contractors are quite quick to respond. Based on personal experience, the neighbors at the complex are generally non-problematic.

3/3/21

Amazing Living Space

I would like to say that in all the places I have lived previously this is the most amazing environment to be in. The staff is wonderful getting me acquainted with the area and any issues I needed fixed were handled in a timely fashion with minimal to no delay. The maintenance worker has been a huge asset in assuring any issues I need fixed was done thoroughly and I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking for an amazing place to live!

Convenient Location, Great Staff

I've been with MJ Peterson for a couple of years now and I've never had a major issue. The property staff here are kind and quick to help when any problems arise, and for apartment issues the maintenance staff are dependable and always do a wonderful job. Overall a nice place to live and it helps that it's next to a lot of food/shopping places.

2/3/21
Great Place to Live!

Lived here for almost 2 years and there were two property managers during that time. Both were great and extremely helpful with any issues. Apartments are clean and located in a safe area. Would recommend!
