I loss my $600 to hold the apartment, my instincts tossed knowledge and understanding in my mind advising me to read the whole contract CAREFULLY, until I comprehend it.

5 things that makes this place worth 5 star!…read more 1) Layout/Plan : On the website you could see the details from price to layout as it needs a whole website to discuss about. The 2 story and private entrance gives a feel of townhouse. The apartments are new, spacious, have a open layout and brightness to them. Gym and pool are not that great but you have something better than nothing. Have a laundry room inside the apartment and i love that with kids. Clubhouse is free once a year to use for party and its good to know. These are the best of their all 4 types of apartments offered. If you live on ground floor , you will hear the footsteps on the floor above a lot. But with kids i prefer to take the pain by renting on the ground floor than to take the stress of how the people below us are really annoyed if we are not lucky. 2) Location: Right on transit, across from Wegmans, neighbor to Kohls and what not. You name it, its there within its reach but never had any disturbance of the trucks or noise. Great expensive houses in the neighborhood. 3) School: Country parkway elementary, Transit Middle, East high. One of the best schools you can get. All in closest proximity. 4) Family: Lots of kids and they use all the lawn area as a backyard. People are so used to all this that it becomes a part of their life. Great neighborhood with a great mix. 5) Safety: Overall the best you can ask for.

Not the place to live if you want peace, quiet and above all PRIVACY!…read more I've lived here for several months, and while the property itself is nice, there are several ongoing issues that make it difficult to fully enjoy living here. First, the constant door slamming is disruptive at all hours of the day and night. It echoes through the hallways and makes it hard to have any peace and quiet in your own apartment. On top of that, kids often run up and down the hallways without supervision, which adds to the noise level and can be frustrating for anyone trying to work from home, rest, or just relax. Another concern is the gym area. Children are frequently left unattended there, using equipment that isn't safe for them and making it uncomfortable for residents who are trying to work out. It really feels like a lack of oversight on management's part. Finally, one of the neighbors has cameras set up outside her apartment door, pointed into the common hallway as well as cameras pointing to the parking lot. It feels intrusive knowing that everything residents do--coming and going from their apartments, carrying groceries, greeting guests--is being recorded. Common areas are meant to be shared respectfully, not monitored by another tenant. Overall, this could be a great place to live, but until management takes steps to address noise issues, enforce rules in shared spaces, and deal with privacy concerns, it falls short of being a comfortable and welcoming community.

The spreads included a chopped olive tapas, a apricot mostarda and a caramelized onion dish. These could be enjoyed on the toast points or along with the roasted garlic goat cheese. There was also a cash bar. The event was a way for several merchants to display their wares, among them Blue Table Chocolates, Tommyrotter Distillery, Rebel Ride and several artisans. The wait staff was great, replenishing the various platters and serving trays of tasty mini-potato pancakes and boneless chicken wing bites throughout the evening. They also picked up plates, cans and bottles, taking them back to the kitchen for disposal vs. there being many unsightly trash cans throughout the room. This also added to the event, making the room more attractive.

From the property management to the staff to the residents, everything here at CCMA has been great. There are 3 or 4 different apartment layouts to choose from, with 1-2 bedroom options, and some of the buildings are pet friendly! There is a community center that can be used for parties as well as a pool that is open all summer. There is always ample parking, the snow removal in the winter is usually extremely efficient, and the grounds are just beautiful in the spring summer and fall. I would easily recommend CCMA to anyone looking to live in Williamsville. It's close and convenient to most places: Wegmans, tops, TJ and Marshalls, Transit, the Thruway, etc. Just very very convenient. Love it here.

Going on my third year here. First 2 years were great! Beautiful townhomes, brand new,…read moremaintenance was great. This year.......forget it. Snow plowing and salting is pretty much nonexistent. If you don't have a truck or SUV, forget getting to work in the morning. And I am not even talking about your driveway, which you have to plow or shovel out yourself since it takes them forever to get to them. I am talking about your STREET!!! Streets are not plowed at all overnight and they don't start plowing until after 6am in the morning. And it is a slowwwwww process. I have an SUV and got stuck on my street this morning at 6am. No one plowed our streets all night. Got to the main road and it was fine. Extremely frustrating to pay $1600+/month and are told that plowing is not included and it is a courtesy that the company provides......even though town plows cannot come onto the property because it is privately owned. So if the property doesn't plow.....you are pretty much out of luck getting out. Beautiful townhomes, awful in the winter.

I've been contemplating whether or not to write a review about my experience with Pleasant Meadow…read moreTownhomes and decided it might be worth a read to those coming from out-of-town -- or needing to decide on a home sooner than later. *I will preface by saying my review is based on my interactions (mainly email) with associates who work at Pleasant Meadows and not as a renter.* After living in the Oklahoma City area for two years, my husband and I -- along with our two tots -- are moving back to the east coast, specifically, the Buffalo area. He recently was offered a job in the area that has our family moving much sooner than expected ... like, within a couple of weeks. Because of the urgency of needing a place to say, and because we've never lived in western New York (we were closer to NYC in the past), I frantically began searching for the best places to live that would be close to his job. I stumbled upon Pleasant Meadows and moved it to the top of my list as they have town homes you can rent. Not knowing the area and having to reintroduce ourselves to snow meant we did not want to rent a personal home and have things go south. When I first inquired about a 3 bedroom/2 bathroom town home, I was told by the associate none were currently available. I later inquired about their 2 bedroom/2 bathroom ranch homes and much to my surprise, heard there was one that is under construction and would be available around our desired move-in date. It was around these first emails that it was explained to us that a deposit would be needed to hold unit (a small portion of which is non-refundable) with the bulk being applied to the unit once we move in. The next sentence stated that people with a certain credit score would not be required to submit a security deposit. It was finally explained to us after a few emails and receiving the renter specs that the initial deposit is actually an application fee. We were asked to overnight a check for the application fee and submit our application to lease the unit, but thankfully, I was able to convince the associate to allow us to have our bank issue a check that would take a few business days. (I don't know when the last time was that I wrote a check as we operate electronically.) Things were pretty smooth over the course of the week that we worked with the associate. We turned in the application, proof of income, copies of driver's licenses and whatever else they required. Once we started looking at the lease, there were one or two line items that were interesting -- including a mention about needing to have blinds hung within a few days of moving, otherwise PM would purchase and install at our expense? (It's been a while since I lived in complex run by a property management company, but I thought this is included??) During that same time, a place we were originally looking at in Williamsville had a few 3 bedroom town homes open up with a special that priced them close to Pleasant Meadows. Comparing the extra space we would get -- including a basement -- and having continuous hardwood floors on the entire main level, versus the carpeted areas at PM, we decided to pull the trigger on the unit in Williamsville. Within a couple day's time, I sent an email to the associate working with us thanking her for her help and informing her that we would be moving forward with another company. That was six days ago (and counting). Today I received a call from a lady who I think might be the property manager asking whether or not we would be ready to move in soon. I'm not sure if our associate passed along the email I sent (that's been the only communication we've had), but she wasn't informed of the decision we made last week. When I inquired about the money for the hold, she let me know that all of it is no longer refundable. What irks me about this whole situation is not that the a line item mentioned this bit of info towards the bottom of the application, but that it was not mentioned in any emails with Pleasant Meadows or the renter specs. I also don't think alluding to the fact that I "sounded desperate to get a place," is quite professional -- especially when I never dealt with the female associate on the phone before. Because if I did, she might know that we were moving to the area from the middle of the country and only have a few week's time to decide on a place we'll never see until we get there. So yeah, I was trying to move and make decisions sooner than later, and I guess if that means I sound "desperate" in her eyes, so be it. At the end of the day, we lost out on a couple hundred dollars -- which the lady on the phone mentioned "wouldn't go very far here anyway" -- but it is what it is. I'm sure local residents wouldn't have issues like this because they can make decisions in person and likely wouldn't be on a time crunch to move a four bedroom home halfway across the country. So in line with Yelp's three-star description, my experience was OK.
