If you're apartment hunting in Western New York, it's worth putting Amherst and Williamsville at the top of your list. This corner of Erie County consistently ranks among the best places to live in New York State, and once you see what it offers, it's easy to understand why.
A Niche A+ Community
Niche.com gives Amherst an overall grade of A+, with an A+ for public schools and for being a great place to raise a family. If you have kids (or plan to), the Williamsville Central School District is a major draw, with schools like Williamsville South High School and Maple West Elementary earning top marks and a strong reputation for the arts alongside academics.
Green Space Just Around the Corner
You don't have to drive far to unwind outdoors here. Glen Falls and Audubon Town Park have waterfalls right in the neighborhood, Amherst State Park offers 80 acres of trails for hiking and wildlife watching, and Eggertsville Community Park has a looped trail that's popular with walkers, runners, and cyclists alike. It's the kind of everyday access to nature that's hard to find closer to the city.
Everything You Need, Close By
Between Boulevard Mall's 30-plus retailers, a Wegmans and Tops for groceries, and a Main Street lined with local favorites, day-to-day errands and date nights are never far from home. Community traditions like Old Home Days and the Music on Main summer concert series add to the neighborly, small-town feel that residents love.
An Easy Commute
Amherst puts you close to everything without the traffic headaches of city living. Local residents note you can get from one end of Buffalo to the other in about 20 minutes thanks to I-990 and nearby state routes, and Buffalo Niagara International Airport is just 6.5 miles away. It's a great home base whether you work downtown, on the University at Buffalo campus, or anywhere in between.
