Buffalo’s Cheapest Apartments For Rent

If you've been a homeowner in Western New York over the last few years, then you know how much the housing market has exploded. Home values have skyrocketed, which means more equity for the average homeowner in the 716. Things have been even better if you are a broker or investor, as higher prices have also meant increased profits when moving real estate.

However, the downside to this booming market has been the prices of rentals. One of the biggest complaints I've heard over the last few months is how expensive it is to find a safe and affordable apartment in Buffalo. Apartments are either extremely run down and expensive or updated and even more costly.
