When I was a kid (1970s) my father’s Elmwood Village apartments earned between $200 and $400 a month in rent on a premier street. Today the rents are five and six times that amount. Even at prices hovering in the low $1,000s a month range, Buffalo is still a bargain compared to other cities. With the city’s economy starting to show a heartbeat once again the bargains may soon vanish in the best neighborhoods.
Here is a nice Elmwood Village place recently posted on Craig’s List – 1,000 a month for 1,400 square feet of space; lots of charm, lots of wood work, a fireplace, and a beautiful original kitchen:
Quiet, owner occupied lower apartment available July 1st. 2 bedrooms + office on Manchester Place, steps from Elmwood Avenue. 1400 sq. ft., large front porch, lots of storage, hardwood floors throughout.
