Delaware / West Ferry Apartments

They recently renovated many of the apartments, but the building has a serious rat problem — and the rats are getting into individual units. There’s also a widespread mouse infestation. Despite these ongoing, systemic issues, management continues to demand full rent. Tenants even encounter rats in the basement while simply trying to do their laundry.

Stay far away from goldwynn properties. They ignore all problems, but will consistently raise your rent each year. The elevator breaks every day so good luck moving your stuff in. The building was listed as condemned for weeks with the usps stoping their delivery due to lead and black mold issues and they ignored every call and email, not saying a word about the current situation. They consistently have to spray for bed bugs. Packages get stolen if you're not there within 10 minutes to retrieve... your package. and people do crack in the stairwells. DO NOT MOVE IN TO ANY GOLDWYNN PROPERTIES! Read More

Tenant since 2021, building was a mix of wonderful tenants, recently new tenants have moved in, windows broken, noise, unkempt common areas, machines in laundry room malfunction constantly.

I stayed at 1165 Delaware Avenue in Buffalo for about one year. I only moved out because I got a new job, but I would've happily renewed my lease. Lori, my leasing agent, was extremely professional and helpful when she showed me the apartment. All my questions were answered and she was very accommodating, which was great for a first-time apartment renter. I'm not sure if they're renovating all of the units, but my apartment had all new appliances, fresh paint, etc. when I moved into the unit.... Heat works great - almost too great! Windows are solid, never felt any cold draft at all. Walls are solid and neighbors are all quiet so you won't have to worry about any late-night parties or noises keeping you up on a work night. Everyone is so friendly as well - lot of young professionals and families live there. Tom, the superintendent, is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet. He lives on-site so you will always have someone there to help fix anything, answer any questions, etc. Everytime you pass him in the hallway or outside be sure to stop and say hi - he certainly will! Never was an issue he couldn't fix or a question he didn't have the answer to. Laundry room is great too - I think only once was there a broken machine and it was fixed by the next day. Had some issues with water pressure when I moved in, but like I said Tom and his team were quick to fix it. Truly was no issue at all. There is no off-street parking, but trust me you will never have an issue finding a spot. I know it might seem crazy, but there really are plenty of spots along West Ferry and the area is super safe so you won't have to worry about break-ins or anything. Never had an issue. Don't be fooled by the old building - it's a great place to live. Last thing - my car broke down the week I was supposed to move out. I couldn't find one by the time my lease ended, but Lori was so kind and allowed me to stay an extra few days until I was able to find a new car to get my things packed into. Not a lot of leasing agents would allow their former tenants to do this, and I can't begin to tell you what a relief it was when she understood the situation I was in. This is a staff that truly cares about their tenants - they always go the extra mile! With an excellent staff, friendly neighbors, and clean housing units I would've been hard-pressed to find a better location in Buffalo. Read More
