Moving into the Crescendo has been an absolutely great experience! We have nothing but positive things to say about Frank and his staff. He has been responsive and personally helpful throughout the entire process, answering all of our questions and making sure that everything is as it should be. The Crescendo is run by a great crew and we are so happy with our decision to be here!

Lived here for about 2 1/2 years and it was great. The apartments are beautiful with so much natural light. And having The Roost right downstairs is a huge plus!

Ok, so I lived in the apartment next to the two girls claiming that there were rats in the building, which legitimately never happened, and they lived there for less than 2 months, so I figured I'd try to give an HONEST AND UNBIASED review of the building. Here we go- The good- The finishes are outstanding, the 2 bedroom units are huge, You don't pay for your own water and the instant on hot water never runs out. Noise privacy between the units is very good. Management is reasonable and one of the leasing agents lives in the building. There is no office there. The gym is nice and seldom used, even if it is a little small. The not so good- The restaurant on the first floor is really expensive to drink at and there really are not any other viable options within walking distance of the building, which means that everything is a cab ride away if you plan on going out. The Mexican restaurant next door is disgusting, you'd be better off eating out of the sewer. The one bedroom apartments are pretty small. The other residents (at least when I lived there) were not friendly, but I think that's more of a Buffalo thing than a Crescendo thing. The sorta kinda bad- All of the 2 bedrooms are on the back of the building, which directly overlooks the 190 thruway. The thruway is loud because it's concrete and the noise never stops 24 hours a day. The neighborhood is supposed to still be on the upswing, so the other residents of said neighborhood are not particularly fond of the money coming in and at times make things uncomfortable for the new people moving in. Cleaning and maintenance of the building could be improved, for example, the whole far end of the parking garage still has unused and disorganized materials from when the building was renovated years ago. Outside maintenance of the building does not exist, they do not mow or take care of anything outside of the building other than bare minimum snow removal. All in all- considering the price, this building is probably one of the best values per dollar you can find in the city, provided you can deal with the shortcomings.
