Getting to the gym can be tough when you work during the week and need to settle in after getting home. Of course, at this point in time, gyms are closed due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. Even when they re-open, there is an expense to pay if you want to join a gym. On top of joining, you have to make time to go to the gym. Many people turn down gym memberships because they can’t make the time to get there, and why should you spend money if you aren’t going to use it?

There’s always the old question of whether you should rent or buy, but for young professionals, it’s not a bad idea to rent. Some people may say it’s an enormous mistake, but when you’re fresh out of college and starting a job, you may not have time or the capital to own a home and take care of it.

So, you’ve got a new job and you’re looking for a place to live in the Buffalo/Niagara area. Town Hall Terrace is the perfect fit for you!

Now, this is obviously a recommendation, but if you’re choice is to buy a home instead, that is fine. It all depends on your preference and how you’d rather live. If you don’t really know, which one you should choose, then it’s probably a better choice to rent when starting out in the real world.
