Despite the Bad Reputation, Western NY is a good p - 5/11/2008
Sure, we occasionally have some bad weather and the tax/utility costs are excessive, but overall, we get a lot for our total cost of living. With the cities of Buffalo and Niagara Falls (U.S. & Canada) nearby, we have excellent cultural resources. The many colleges and universities also contribute to the wide variety and high quality. Amherst is less than 10 miles from Lake Erie and the Niagara River and less than 15 miles from Lake Ontario for unparalleled summer recreation opportunities. Winter recreation/sports are less than 20 miles to the South. If you want it or want to do it, it's probably right here or nearby - weather permitting. All in all, pretty nice.[read more...] |

the best kept secret in the world! The cost of living is less than the
national average, 2 great lakes at my doorstep, all the amenities of a major
city, including pro teams, great people and wonderful cultural events. I'm
sold on the whole area.[read more...] |
