Why live Downtown? Walk to restaurants, walk to a foreign film, walk to work! Watch the sunrise over the city from your loft. Catch a game at Frontier Field or a concert at the Eastman Theatre without getting in the car. (And don't forget all of the Free Events.)

With over 2400 lofts, apartments, townhomes, and single-family homes, downtown boasts a 24/7 lifestyle and is home to over 4,000 people. That means increased safety, the chance to meet new neighbors, and that's only the beginning!
