People Mad About Rent Prices in Western New York

The rent for an apartment in Western New York is a record high. Look at some of these very average apartments that are available to rent in Western New York and their prices. People were mad looking at some of these prices and you can't blame them.

• $2,200 for a 2 bedroom, 2 bath in Williamsville.
• $1,650 for a 3 bedroom in Alden.
• $1,635 for a 1 bedroom in West Seneca.
• $1,650 for a 2 bedroom upper in Depew.

Now, I say average, not because they're good or bad looking, but because it is not like you are getting a 3000+ square foot house for over two thousand dollars. It is all about what you love to. For example: do you want a duplex? Do you want to live in a complex with a pool? Do you want a private driveway or a private backyard? There are so many factors when choosing the perfect spot for you to live.
