Who books stays in Amherst, NY

Amherst is the most populous suburb of Buffalo, with 129,595 residents at the 2020 census. People come here for school, hospital work, jobs and weekend events:

  • University at Buffalo: North Campus in Amherst is the largest of UB's three campuses. UB enrolls more than 29,000 students and runs more than 100 research centers and institutes, which brings visiting academics and researchers to town.
  • Campus weekends: first-year students move into the Ellicott Complex on North Campus in late August, and UB's College of Arts and Sciences holds its May graduation ceremonies at Broadview Arena on North Campus. Visitors need a place to stay for both.
  • Healthcare: Millard Fillmore Suburban Hospital on Maple Road is a 265-bed Kaleida Health hospital and a training site for UB emergency medicine residents. Hospital work brings travel nurses and medical staff who need a home for weeks or months.
  • More schools: Daemen University on Main Street and SUNY Erie's North Campus in Williamsville add faculty and visitors.
  • Employers: National Fuel is headquartered in Williamsville, and GEICO has a large office in Crosspoint Business Park. New hires and project teams often need a furnished home while they settle in.
  • Hockey: Northtown Center at Amherst, next to UB, has four ice sheets and is home to Amherst Youth Hockey and the Amherst Skating Club. Game weekends can bring visitors.
  • Getting here: Buffalo Niagara International Airport is in Cheektowaga, the town on Amherst's southern border.

Each of these guests wants something different, so we plan each home around the guests most likely to book it.

Short-term vs mid-term rentals in Amherst

A short-term rental is a nightly Airbnb stay. A mid-term rental is a furnished stay of 30 nights or more. We do short term rental management and mid term rental management in Amherst, NY, and can move a home between the two.

Short-term stays in Amherst follow the campus calendar and weekend events: college visits, move-in week, graduation and hockey weekends. Guests stay a few nights, so fast turnovers and quick replies matter most.

Mid-term stays suit guests who are here for a set stretch of time. The guests we house for 30 nights or more are travel nurses and medical staff, people relocating for work, corporate and project crews, visiting academics and researchers, and households out of their own home because of an insurance claim or a renovation. A semester, a hospital contract and a home repair all have an end date.

Some homes do best with a mix. We recommend what fits the house, and we can switch the plan when demand shifts with the seasons.

Amherst homes that work as furnished rentals

Most of Amherst is single-family. Census figures show about 6 in 10 homes in the town are detached houses, and about half of all homes were built between 1950 and 1979. The town also has two-family homes, small buildings of three or four units, and larger apartment buildings.

A full house with a yard can suit a household on an insurance stay or a nurse on a long contract. A smaller unit can suit a visiting researcher. We will tell you plainly what fits your home.

If the home is empty, we can furnish it and set it up for guests. See 716corporatehousing.comfurnishing services.

Every town sets its own rental rules. We go over what applies to your address before we list your home.

Owner questions

How much does Airbnb management cost in Amherst?

It depends on the home and the service level. Call us at 716-271-6555 and we will walk you through it.

What is the difference between an Airbnb co-host and full management?

With co-hosting, the Airbnb account, listing and reviews stay in your name, and we run the daily work: messages, pricing, the calendar, cleaning and maintenance. With full-service management, we run the rental from start to finish, list it on Airbnb, Furnished Finder and 716corporatehousing.com, and send you a monthly statement and payout.

Should my Amherst home be short-term or mid-term?

It depends on the home. Nightly stays can work around UB events like move-in and graduation. Stays of 30 nights or more suit travel nurses, visiting researchers, people relocating for work and households on an insurance stay. We look at your home, recommend what fits, and can switch it later.

My house is empty. Can you still help?

Yes. We can furnish the home and set it up for guests. See 716corporatehousing.comfurnishing services or call 716-271-6555.

How fast can you list my home?

It depends on the home. A furnished home that is ready for guests moves fastest, because we only need to do the photos, listing copy, pricing, calendar and smart lock. An empty home takes longer because it needs furniture first. Call us and we will give you a timeline for your home.

Do you handle cleaning?

Yes. Our cleaning team handles every turnover and restocks supplies between stays.
