Called the new eighth natural wonder of the world, offering great views from Niagara Falls USA and Niagara Falls Canada. These locations are only a 25 minute drive from the apartment. The area around Niagara Falls called the Niagara Escarpment is one of the most unique geologic features on the planet. Formed thousands of years ago by advancing and retreating ice sheets, the Great Lakes were created by the melting ice and the mighty Niagara Falls were an additional result.

The Elmwood Village neighborhood where visitors linger at open-air cafes and browse farmer’s market vendors on a tree-lined parkway in the summer, while gathering at cozy coffeehouses and pubs in the winter. Picture a district where independently-owned and artisanal are the descriptors used for retailers instead of chain and franchise. Think of a place where public art can be seen on nearly every block. That’s Buffalo’s Elmwood Village.

Allentown is a section of the city where wall-size murals flank the district’s many live music bars, neighborhood galleries, restaurants and shops. Beautiful brick buildings and characters like the “bubble man,” who blows bubbles out of his apartment window at the corner of Allen Street and Elmwood Avenue, give the neighborhood a creative energy unlike anywhere else in the city.
