Best Areas for apartments near University at Buffalo

The most practical housing areas fall into four groups, which are Amherst, University Heights, North Buffalo, and Downtown. Although the University at Buffalo is located in the Buffalo, NY area, its North Campus is in Amherst, a suburban town just north of Buffalo, while South Campus and Downtown Campus are located within the City of Buffalo. So the best area for UB off campus living depends on your main campus, daily schedule, and preferred lifestyle.

Amherst, Sweet Home Road and Rensch Road

Amherst is the most relevant area for students based at North Campus. Located north of Buffalo, this suburban area is home to many purpose-built student apartments and communities along Sweet Home Road, Rensch Road and nearby streets. Amherst is the best option for students searching for apartments near University at Buffalo North Campus.

North Campus does not have direct access to Buffalo Metro Rail. But many UB rentals provide private shuttles to UB North Campus from the Amherst area. Remember to confirm the shuttle route, operating hours, and campus drop-off location before signing a lease.

University Heights, Main Street and LaSalle Avenue

University Heights and the Main Street corridor are practical for students finding apartments near UB South Campus. The area provides access to University Station, local bus routes and the shops and services along Main Street. As a traditional college neighbourhood, the area offers more budget-friendly housing options, including apartments, duplexes and shared houses. Housing styles and property conditions can vary between buildings. Compared with Amherst, University Heights offers a more urban neighborhood feel while keeping South Campus within easy reach.

North Buffalo and Hertel Avenue

North Buffalo and Hertel Avenue are popular choices for upperclassmen, graduate students, and students who want a balance between campus access and city life. The neighborhood gives students more opportunities to enjoy Buffalo's community atmosphere outside campus, with convenient transportation access to both North and South Campuses. The area works well for students who prefer a more independent University at Buffalo off campus living rather than a dedicated student-housing community.

Downtown and the Buffalo Medical Corridor

Downtown and the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus are best suited to students at the Jacobs School of Medicine and other Downtown Campus facilities. Living nearby can reduce the need to commute from Amherst. Students who prefer UB South Campus housing can use the Blue Line Shuttle or NFTA Metro Rail from University Station to reach downtown.

University at Buffalo Cost of Living

The cost of living at the University at Buffalo is approximately $25,422 per academic year for housing, food, books, transportation, and personal expenses, excluding tuition and mandatory fees. Total estimated attendance costs are $36,530 for New York State residents, $58,530 for domestic non-residents, and $61,030 for international undergraduates.

University at Buffalo Housing Cost

  • UB dorming cost: $7,367 per academic year. A standard double room costs approximately $10,376.
  • UB off campus housing cost: Averages around $1,241 - $1,431 per month, while current UB housing on uhomes.com starts from $799/month.

  • Personal expenses: $2,238/year

Transportation near University at Buffalo

University at Buffalo transportation varies significantly by campus. North Campus in Amherst relies mainly on the UB Stampede, local buses, private apartment shuttles, and driving, while South Campus is served by both the Stampede and NFTA Metro Rail. Downtown Campus is connected to South Campus by the UB Blue Line and Metro Rail.

UB Stampede and Campus Shuttles

The free UB Stampede is the main connection between North Campus and South Campus. The All Stops route serves both campuses, while the Yellow Line provides express service between them. On North Campus, the Red Line connects the Ellicott Complex and Lee Loop with the academic area.

Metro Rail

University Station is located beside UB South Campus, as the northern terminus of the current NFTA Metro Rail. Trains run south along Main Street to Allen-Medical Campus station, the closest Metro Rail stop to UB’s Downtown Campus and the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, before continuing through Downtown Buffalo. The UB Blue Line also runs between South Campus and Downtown Campus on weekdays, giving UB students another direct option for reaching the medical campus.

NFTA Buses

NFTA Route 35 Sheridan serves North Campus at Coventry Loop and Flint Loop, connecting UB with Maple Road, Sheridan Drive and neighborhoods west of Amherst. Route 44 links University Station at South Campus with North Campus via Millersport Highway and continues toward Lockport.

These routes can make University at Buffalo off-campus housing along Sheridan Drive, Maple Road and the Millersport corridor workable without a car. However, travel time depends heavily on the nearest stop, service frequency, and whether a transfer is required, so the exact address matters more than the neighborhood name alone.

Walking, Cycling and Driving

Walking is most practical around South Campus, University Heights and Main Street, where students can reach campus buildings and University Station without crossing large suburban roads. North Campus is much larger, and many off-campus communities around Sweet Home Road and Rensch Road are better suited to shuttle, bus, bike or car travel than daily walking.

UB provides campus bike racks, repair stations and bikeshare services, while Stampede buses are fitted with bicycle racks. Students who drive can park in designated student lots after registering for a UB virtual parking permit; the permit is included in the university transportation fee for students who pay that fee.

Student Life at UB

With hundreds of student organisations, campus events, recreation facilities, and a diverse community, student life at University at Buffalo is vibrant and meaningful. UB offers plenty of opportunities for students to build connections outside the classroom.

Clubs, Organizations, and Campus Events

UB has more than 500 student clubs and regularly hosts campus events throughout the year. Students can also use recreation facilities and join different communities based on their interests. Major campus events such as Bulls Welcome Back Blast, homecoming activities, and student performances at the Center for the Arts help create an active campus atmosphere. Many campus activities are open to off-campus students, so students living in apartments in Buffalo near UB can still stay connected with the university.

Recreation, Fitness and Outdoor Spaces

UB students have access to extensive recreation facilities, including Alumni Arena, fitness centres, intramural sports and outdoor spaces around North Campus. Students can participate in basketball, swimming, group fitness classes and recreational leagues throughout the academic year.

Many student apartments near University at Buffalo also provide private fitness centres, swimming pools, study lounges and social spaces, allowing students to balance academic work with an active lifestyle without travelling far from home.

Health, Wellness and Student Support

UB provides comprehensive student support through health services, counselling resources and inclusion centres. Student Health Services provides medical care and wellness support for students. University Counseling Services also offers confidential counselling for students who need mental health support. UB has dedicated centres that support students from different backgrounds. The Intercultural and Diversity Center and LGBTQ+ Center organise programs and provide spaces where students can connect with others.

Much of the University at Buffalo student housing is located within easy reach of campus facilities, allowing residents to access academic resources, recreation centres and student support services without long daily commutes.
