    Modern clean quiet sanctuary friendly

    I toured, loved the apartment, and am moving in on Thursday. The staff are friendly, helpful and informative; the place is modern, very clean, homey (not institutional), quiet and well laid-out. My wife is sociable and has made lots of friends - we love it here; it's a bit pricey but feels like a private sanctuary with great amenities (exercise room, library, community room).

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment in the reviews is strongly positive: reviewers repeatedly emphasize friendly, helpful, and informative staff, a modern and very clean facility, and a homey, non‑institutional atmosphere. Multiple comments reference a pleasant layout and quiet location, and specific amenities — an exercise room, library, and community room — are called out as attractive features. Several reviewers described their visits as perfect, loved their apartments, and were in the process of moving in, indicating high satisfaction with both the physical space and the move‑in/tour experience.

    Staff and management: Reviews consistently highlight staff behavior as a major strength. Descriptors such as friendly, helpful, and informative recur across summaries, suggesting that both front‑line employees and the team handling tours/move‑ins make a favorable impression. Comments about a "perfect visit" and completed apartment preparations imply efficient, well‑organized management and leasing processes. There are no explicit complaints about responsiveness or service quality in the provided summaries.

    Facilities and environment: The building is described as modern, up‑to‑date, and very clean, with a deliberate non‑institutional, homey design. The layout and quiet location are repeatedly praised, and several specific shared spaces (exercise room, library, community room) are mentioned positively. Apartments themselves are described as attractive and move‑in ready; one reviewer explicitly stated they "loved the apartment" and were moving in, reinforcing that the living units meet expectations.

    Social life and activities: Reviews indicate the community offers many offerings and that residents can be sociable and friendly — "lots of friends" and "friendly people" are noted. At the same time, there is a mixed pattern: some reviewers described themselves (or others) as private or not very sociable while also calling the place a "sanctuary." This suggests the community accommodates both socially active residents and those who prefer privacy, but the social dynamic may vary by individual preference. Prospective residents seeking a very active, consistently social environment should expect variability; those seeking quieter or more private living are likely to be comfortable as well.

    Costs and concerns: The main negative theme is cost: one or more reviewers explicitly noted a high price. No other recurrent operational or care concerns appear in the summaries provided. There are no mentions of dining quality, medical or personal care, housekeeping issues, or management problems in these summaries, so no conclusions can be drawn about those areas from the available comments.

    Overall assessment: Based on the provided review summaries, Crestmount Square Senior Apartments presents as a well‑maintained, modern community with attentive and friendly staff, attractive common areas, and apartments that satisfy new residents. The environment is intentionally non‑institutional and can serve both socially active residents and those who prefer privacy. The principal drawback identified by reviewers is cost, so prospective residents should weigh pricing against the strong positives around staff, cleanliness, and amenities. If dining, clinical care, or other services are important decision factors, prospective residents should ask specifically about those areas since they were not addressed in the provided reviews.

    About Crestmount Square Senior Apartments

    Crestmount Square Senior Apartments sits quietly in what used to be the City of Tonawanda Senior High School, and the place is for people aged 55 and older who want independent living, but there are options for independent, assisted, and memory care, and even home care if that's something needed. Residents get one- or two-bedroom apartments, all with kitchens or kitchenettes, their own central air, balconies or patios, and maintenance included, though some apartments use older fixtures and you might have to pay extra if you want something replaced, like a toilet seat, and storage is available for a fee too. The building has lots of safety and accessibility features like sprinklers and helps people who use walkers or wheelchairs get around easier, and a centrally located elevator makes moving between floors simpler for everyone.

    The rent includes most utilities-electric, heat, water, garbage, and cable-so you don't have to worry about many extra bills, and there are washers and dryers in the apartments too. The community management is professional, and there are personal care assistants around who can help with daily tasks or walking if you need it, plus laundry and dry cleaning if it's needed. Meals and dining services are provided as well for those that want them, and the dining room is there for gathering with neighbors.

    Around the property, you'll find a fitness center that's state-of-the-art, a community lounge with a fireplace for relaxing, a community room with a patio, a beauty salon and barbershop so you can get your hair done close to home, and a game and activities room. There's guest parking and WiFi, and they offer planned social activities, arts and crafts, fitness and health programs, and educational opportunities if you're the kind of person who likes to keep busy. Housekeeping is an option, and the staff arranges trips out and transportation for errands or doctor's visits.

    The area is quiet but there's plenty nearby if you want to get out, and Crestmount Square tries to make things easier and safer for folks as they get older while giving people the choice to be as active or as private as they want. The place isn't a nursing home, but does provide many types of care services, and you can tour the facilities to see whether it fits your needs.
