Get Directions
Downtown Buffalo is the urban heart of this large city nestled off Lake Erie. While it’s where you’ll find government buildings, businesses, and corporations, it’s also where you’ll discover culture, top-rated education, and welcoming residents. After all, Buffalo is the “City of Good Neighbors.” Downtown Buffalo is known for having one-of-a-kind sunsets over the water, which you may even be able to see from your new apartment! Public transit is abundant in downtown, so residents have no trouble commuting around the city.
The First Niagara Center, home arena of the Buffalo Sabres hockey team, sits on the district's southern border. In addition to sporting events, this venue hosts concerts by renowned performers. The Seneca Buffalo Creek Casino is another terrific destination with more than 800 slots, game tables, a bakery, and a sports bar. Residents and visitors alike enjoy visiting Shea’s Buffalo Theatre for live music performances, comedy shows, and Broadway performances.
