Moving to Allentown!!

Its final. I am moving to Roswell Park Cancer Center for my dissertation research and I am practically bouncing off walls. A few small road-bumps and creases need to be ironed out. Paperwork, Qualifiers, logistics etc. But aside from that, Buffalo, here I come!!

One of the earliest road-blocks is of course finding a 1BR apartment near Roswell. I am being told Allentown and Elmwood strip would be the ideal places to move into. Walking distance from Roswell and a relatively safe and happy neighbourhood.

Anyone have any suggestions/contacts that they can share with me? I am looking for a quiet place for about $400 - $550 per month (preferably with heat and water).

That's wonderful news! I have friends at Roswell before I even move to Buffalo! :) Thank you!

PS: Now I only need to figure out who they are. ;) *nudge*nudge*

@Chico

Thanks for the commute update. I don't have a car and narrow roads sound delightfully like home!

Thanks again for help and I will need those wishes for the qualifiers. :)

@leetee

Ah, maybe I should come down on a weekday after my qualifiers to scope out all the potential places for rent... Nifty tip, thanks!

When my husband, (e:Uncutsaniflush) and i moved to Buffalo, we rented a very nice apartment on the corner of Linwood & Summer in the Mayflower building. Which is very close to Roswell, down the street from the infamous mansion at 24 that (e:PMT) own. They always seem to have a for rent sign out there....

if i hear of anything i'll let you know!

btw several (e:peeps) work at roswell, so you'll have potential friends at work if you don't know these guyzos already.

now, go rock those qualifiers! :)
