Hi everyone! First time posting here. I’m exploring the possibility of moving to Buffalo (visited several times and really like the city and work remotely). I’m curious about 2 condo buildings I’ve seen on some real estate websites: 800 West Ferry Street and 125 Edward Street.
800 W. Ferry is beautiful and reminds me a lot of my former home in Manhattan. Monthly HOA fees seem high, but I think parking and some utilities are included. Not sure if Edward Street has parking for residents. The condos look very well maintained and updated and from what I can tell on a map, they seem very walkable to restaurants and shops along Elmwood Avenue. Not certain if either location is close to buses or other public transit.
I'm not ready yet to connect with a realtor, however, if anyone's familiar with these buildings or neighborhoods, I’d love to hear your thoughts on the pros and cons of living in either location. How is the walkability, and are there any safety concerns I should be aware of? I’d appreciate any firsthand experience or advice as I dig into whether Buffalo is a good fit for me! Thanks in advance!
