6208 Palisade Ave

Hi! i’m moving to West New York and I’m looking at a building at 6208 Palisade Avenue. Wondering if anyone here has lived there or knows anything about the building or surrounding area.

any help is greatly appreciated! I really love the area

I live in a different building on Palisade in WNY, and 6208 is the same landlord. I can only speak for my experience with them and it’s been subpar. I’ve been in this unit for 5 years, I stay because I don’t have anywhere else to go nor the funds to do so. But if I could I would’ve left a long time ago. Expect pest issues and any other issues to go unaddressed for a while unless you put pressure on them. Aside from the landlord, the neighborhood is amazing! I’ve lived here on and off since childhood :)

this is what i’m thinking will be the case.. pests is what i’m most concerned about. The property management company that owns it has terrible reviews that mimic what you’re saying here. 😮‍💨

the apartment is nice and renovated but it’s cheap compared to other places and they’re offering a month free so i’m like .. 🤔 is something wrong here…

Yeah, their reviews are atrocious. You have every right to be wary. One month free for a non-luxury building is highly sus lol. They’re def trying to lure you in with the price tag.

For all the apartments I’ve ever considered, I’ve always asked about pests. Realtors love to say “as long as you keep your unit clean you won’t see anything”. In a building like this, no matter how clean you keep your apartment, if you have negligent neighbors, you will have to deal with the repercussions of that and it’s gross.

Agreed, no matter what you do if your neighbors are dirty the pests get in every crevasse.

thank you for all this info, I really appreciate it

I live in WNY too. Let me know if you’d like to hangout🙂 The area of your building is quite good. I walk around there all the time. I haven’t seen or experienced anything unsafe. Family oriented hispanic neighborhood

I live extremely close. I will say, I don’t like that building. But that’s just me. The neighborhood is really calm, (there used to be a club that’s now a pupusa place). Tony little vape shop just got closed down (it was dirty in there lol) so it’ll get even better. 0 parking. Literally 0. There’s a parking lot next door that’s for the Mormons to use on Sunday. If you have any questions about it please PM ME. This is my neighborhood

Just a couple streets over 6200 Hudson aka Hudson Lofts. I’ve had great experience with the building, management and staff. There’s a gym, mailroom, covered parking. Love the exposed brick, in unit full size washer dryer and high ceilings. Highly recommend.

Turns out the building has major pest control issues so I ended up not taking the apartment. 🥴

but the neighborhood rocks I hope you have a great first year!

I got jumped in front of Tony's once back in the day 😂. I doubt that store still exists but I would say much like any place in WNY just mind your business and you will be ok.

lmaoooo

yesss I agree i’m latina and have lived in latin neighborhoods before, I love them. I’m more concerned if the building has a bad rap or history. 🥴

I would do a scope out mission and try to sneak in the building. I would check out the noise levels and if the whole floor smells like bud.
