This is nice . . .
I like estrip so far. People helped right away. I will become a more regular reader/poster as I get closer to moving. Until then, Thanks!

hey drew, where you moving from? and why? is it a job move? i would start looking for a place to live in artvoice, (www.artvoice.com) that is where most of us look when we want to rent. and the apartments listed here are where most of us live. if you find something you're interested in, run it by us and we'll tell you more about it, i.e. where is the neighborhood, what kind of stuff is near it, how nice is it, etc. that is what (e:chico) and (e:chicoschica) did when they moved here not too long ago. good luck!

Coming soon . . .
Moving to Buffalo and Elmwood area in the next couple months. This site seems like it might be helpful in getting to know the area and the people.

Anyway, if anyone wants to help me find a place to live, I think that will be task number one. I figure We (wife and I) will rent until we can buy.

We don't arrive until May, but we're trying to work on things ahead of time.

Good luck on your move! I just noticed that you said you'd be moving in May... hope you found a satisfactory place, and let us know how it works out.

Hi (e:drew) ! Welcome to the strip. Last spring/summer (e:chicoschica) and I did a lot of apartment hunting and we're happy to help in any way we can. And we found a great rental, a beautiful second-floor flat in a quiet neighborhood in the city, thanks to an (e:strip)per-- (e:libertad) (thanks again lib). So there's reason to believe that (e:strip) might actually help. :)

Welcome to (e:Strip) (e:Drew)

Yeah, what (e:Uncutsaniflush) said. We rented in Buffalo for 6 months while looking for a house to buy.

We noticed the closer to the strip, the more expensive... for both rental and purchase.

I am sure if you start asking questions about neighbourhoods, plenty of us (e:peeps) will chime in. :O)

I've heard there are some nice rentals on Richmond... i think (e:Carolinian) lives on Richmond, another new Buffalonian. (e:Chico) and (e:Chicoschica) are new to Buffalo, too!

Yay us for having faith in Buffalo and moving here!

Welcome to (e:strip).

Good luck on your move to Buffalo. I think you will find people helpful with advice on the best places to live even if they don't always agree with each other.

Buffalo is a very inexpensive housing market compared to most of the U.S. If you are into older Victorian and Craftsman houses, bargains abound especially within the city limits of Buffalo.

I think your plan of renting while looking for the right place to buy is a good one. It's what (e:leetee) and I did a couple of years ago.
