Westview Terrace

Hidden gem for housing. It's a bit older, but clean and functional. Good outdoor grass area for BBQ, pets to run, or relax. Close to 2 bus stops (5-10 minute bus ride to campus). Plenty of parking. Quiet area, minimal sound transfer between units.

Best budget friendly place

I get a good amount of space for the price, but the location is not great (in woods) and does have a lot of bugs

The apartment is not that far from Cornell (20 min walk to Central Campus), however, most of the buzz is located in Collegetown or the Commons, which is a bit far away (walking distance is about 40-60min plus de uphill and weather when going back home).

It's a great deal for the price and distance from Cornell. Building is a bit old, but is well maintained.

There's a big yard in the back, great for kids and bbq's.

We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the apartment. Large living room and kitchen, one large bedroom, one smaller bedroom, reasonable bathroom. Although near campus and Greek houses, location is tucked back off the road and quiet. There is a large courtyard that's great for outside events or to let our dog play. Walls and floor/ceiling have limited sound transfer. Management is quick on maintenance calls. Downsides are electrical everything (stove, water heater, baseboard heating), one mini-split AC unit in the living room opposite of the bedrooms, limited lights in every room (lamps solve the situation, but are annoying), and slightly older style. There are bus stops with multiple service routes within 2 minutes of my door on Trip Hammer and Upland.

Management is responsive. Quiet neighbors and area. It’s a 30 minute walk to the law school through campus.

Great property to live in!

I highly recommend this property, especially for people moving in with their families. It is very nearby to campus (a 20-minute walk) and very accessible through public transportation in Ithaca (TCAT). They have a 24-hour free maintenance program, premises are clean, high-speed cable internet and lush green gardens outside apartments.

Westview Terrace is nice and quiet but a bit apart from school (20-25 minute walk to/from Sage Hall). Is a quiet neighborhood and if you are coming with children, there's a good school close by.
