Ahmed – May 2023

Thank you for having us Paul it was truly a wonderful experience! We and the cats are grateful.

Ethan – December 2022

I moved to 20 St. Louis Place for a 3-month internship at a nearby company. Paul was a great landlord, and very accomodating to my short-term situation. When my internship was extended by another few months, Paul helped make the process of extending my lease easy and seamless. The apartments are in a nicely renovated building in Allentown, and there are loads of great restaurants and bars within easy walking distance. Despite the close proximity to downtown, the building always felt safe and was surprisingly quiet. Maintenance issues were dealt with quickly, and a portable AC was even provided during the summer months. Overall, I had a really great experience living here and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to live in Buffalo.

Gabriel – August 2022

I moved to Buffalo for 5 months from Europe and had an amazing time at the apartment at 20 St Louis Pl. They were from the beginning super helpful, and I was able to sign all the lease documents easily from Europe. The apartments really great and when I arrived it looked just like in the pictures. Everybody here was always very nice and when I had questions, they answered them really quickly. In addition, the location of the apartment is awesome. Allentown is really great, and you are also very close to downtown. In summary, a great experience.

Ian – July 2022

I moved in to 14 Saint Louis Place after my first year of medical school with my girlfriend. It was a great decision. The location is very convenient and is a short 10 minute walk to the medical campus. It’s also a quick walk downtown as well. We have always felt safe and the building is very secure. The apartment itself was well up-kept and clean. For three years we called this place home and we have no regrets with choosing this property.

M. Farfaglia – April 2022

I was at 20 St. Louis Pl. for 6 years, and it was definitely the best apartment experience I’ve ever had. It’s walking distance to both Allentown and Chippewa, right across the street from the new medical campus, and at the same time a relatively quiet spot due to being on a dead end street. The buildings are extremely well-maintained, I’ve never had an issue that wasn’t addressed almost immediately. The neighbourhood is one of my favorites in Buffalo, there’s never a shortage of things to do or see. I’d definitely (and did) recommend renting here to any of my friends. If you’re looking to move to a spot that really allows you to enjoy what the city of Buffalo has to offer, this is it.

O. Umolu – July 2021

It was a really good stay. It’s a nice location, near the heart of Buffalo. There are tons of bars and restaurants that you can easily walk to. The rental management is very fair and I never had any issues with them. And If you need any help on site, Dwyane(the caretaker) is super helpful, I can’t praise him enough!

M. J. Ream – June 2021

As a transplant to Buffalo, I was thrilled with my experience at the lofts on St. Louis Place. The neighborhood was surprisingly quiet given its central location in the heart of Buffalo. I was I able to walk to my office in Fountain Plaza as well as countless restaurants and bars downtown, in Allentown, and even on Elmwood (if I was feeling up for a nice long walk). Paul was the most attentive and accommodating landlord I’ve ever had, and Dewayne was always responsive and frequently on site to monitor the weekly cleaning and for any other maintenance needs. I would highly recommend this building to anyone in the market for a new apartment.

Zach and Brittany – March 2021

Renting with Paul Smith and Lofts Buffalo was a fantastic experience. The apartments are top quality and in a great location. Their prices are reasonable, and the buildings are well maintained, thanks to their very friendly groundskeeper. It was a wonderful place to live. If you are considering renting in downtown Buffalo, we highly recommend considering the lofts on St. Louis Pl. by Lofts Buffalo.

A. McMahon – July 2020 

Moving cross-country, we actually rented our unit without seeing it in person and we feel so lucky that we found Lofts Buffalo. The building and the apartment itself are extremely unique and full of character. You reap the benefits of living in a historical home from the hardwood floors and the exposed brick walls, but with the advantage of a tastefully renovated kitchen and bathroom. My husband and I love being so centrally located, we are able walk to work in the medical center while being steps away from anywhere in Allentown and Downtown. Dwayne is the most phenomenal building employee, from clearing snow and salting 24/7 in winters to helping me change my car battery, he really does do it all while keeping the property in tip-top shape. Paul and the management team are extremely helpful and always quick with communication, thanks for making St. Louis Place our home!

Greg – May 2023

The apartment is very cozy and fully furnished. Fantastic location and all appliances work great. The owner and property management company are very nice, attentive, and responsive. The apartment fulfilled my needs and served a vital purpose when I moved to Buffalo. I would absolutely recommend it.

Testimonial from a travelling nurse – Sep. 2022

I stayed in a one bedroom furnished apartment located at 20 St. Louis Pl. in Buffalo for four months. The building is very safe and clean. The halls are cleaned weekly and there are plenty of trash and recycling cans outside. As a female, living alone, I always felt safe. The building is secure and my car was safe parked on the street. The landlord is very responsive and friendly. If you have a problem, they will help you solve it quickly. If anything breaks, they fix it promptly. I would definitely rent from them again! This is a great place to live and the building is quiet. I highly recommend renting here!

C. Mcmahon – July 2021

I lived at 18 St. Louis Place for 3 years while working at the medical center nearby. I moved out for a new job. The historic building is located on a pretty Allentown street with easy access to downtown. There are tons of good restaurants in the area within walking distance. There is parking reserved for residents, as well as street parking directly in front of the building. The units are updated inside and I found the other building residents to be quiet and respectful. Management is extremely helpful and receptive to questions. Special thanks to Dwayne the property manager and his family for keeping the property in pristine condition all year round. Highly recommend to anyone looking to live in the Allentown/Downtown area of Buffalo.

C. Chai – June 2021

I had a great experience living at Lofts Buffalo after moving there for the first time. The furnished apartment was in nice shape and provided a modern feeling living inside. As well, the rent was very reasonable for the location and the accommodations. Paul was a fantastic landlord, answering all my questions about the move and fantastic with communication. Dwayne was amazing on the Buffalo side, always available for any issues that came up at the apartment and kept the property in top shape all year around. Overall, they provided me with a great stay in Buffalo and I would highly recommend this property to live in.

E. Brunette – July 2020 

For a review I would say they’re charming apartments in a great location. I never had a problem with my neighbors and overall it was a great experience living there.

C. Sessions – June 2020

This apartment was by far my favorite place I’ve ever lived in Buffalo! The building has beautiful finishes and the apartment is very comfortable – you don’t hear the neighbors at all. Plus, there is plenty of free parking in the area at any time of day. The management does a fantastic job with communication, repairs, and cleaning the common area weekly. I would highly recommend this for your new home!

C. Campanella – May 2020   

Just reaching out to thank you and the rest of BREV for being great landlords over the past year. Moving into my first apartment was definitely a nerve wracking experience, but your company made the transition really easy for me.

Dwayne’s a really great maintenance guy who truly cares about the people who live at the St. Louis complex. The property has always been clean and well maintained. During one of my first nights here, I locked myself out of my apartment and Dwayne drove across town to let me back in despite it being 9:30 PM on a Friday. You can’t put a price on that.

Alina and I made a deal with the furniture so I’ll be leaving the following items behind:
– Kitchen Table
– Couch
– Upstairs Rug
– Bar Stools (x2)
– Portable Air Conditioner

When the economy recovers and my next lease it up for renewal, I’ll reach out to hopefully snag one of these apartments again. Thanks for believing and investing in Buffalo!
