Resident 2015 - 2017

There are some very negative reviews written about Village Square, and I wanted to share my two cents as well. After having moved around the country several times and living in many, many different apartments, I have enjoyed living at Village Square the most. One must keep in mind that this is an apartment complex, and all of the frustrations and annoyances of living within very close proximity to other people are inevitable. If you desire absolute peace and quiet and privacy, apartment living is probably not for you, and I would recommend getting a condo, house, or something more private and quiet. That said, I have really enjoyed my almost 2 years of living here. The space is clean, the buildings and outside areas are well maintained, and other tenants and management are generally very friendly. The landlord, Daniel Higgins, has been very approachable and has a genuine concern for his tenants. While I'm sure he cannot respond to every conceivable complaint that he receives, he generally does what he can to help. For example, one of our toilets was leaking, and he personally made sure everything was fixed and that we were happy. I understand that he can't respond to every little thing right away, but I think he does his best. Here's a breakdown of my overall experience of pros and cons about Village Square: Pros: + Apartment is clean, bright, and has a comfortable amount of space + Heat and water included + Pet-friendly (with monthly pet rent, of course) + Lots of on-premises space to walk dogs, and other tenants generally do a good job of cleaning up after their dogs + Reasonable pricing + Lots of parking space available, both in parking lots and on streets (can get pretty full sometimes, though) + Parking lot is promptly plowed in the winter + Private storage unit included in basement + Great, safe location in Orchard Park (I love being so close to Spot Coffee and Mangia's) + Generally very quiet in comparison to other places I have lived + Landlord is friendly, easy to reach, and generally responds promptly to any concerns Cons: - Neighbors can sometimes be heard (we can sometimes hear if loud music is being played or if neighbors are talking loudly/yelling) - If neighbors are smoking cigarettes or pot, it's easy to smell - Laundry facilities are outdated - they only take quarters, which can be a bit annoying - Laundry machines are old and don't feel the cleanest (shared between 5 other units) - No online rent payment available - Appliances are slightly outdated (but they work well, so I can't really complain!) - Heat doesn't always work very well on the coldest days (the boiler seems to get overwhelmed with everyone turning their heat up at once) - I can't speak for the other units, but the rugs in the apartment are pretty icky and had lots of stains even when I moved in (they are probably just old)
