Talk about a fire sale! An outfit named the Eggertsville Hose Company was funded in 1906 by frenzied donations that raised the huge sum (for that era in time) of 113 cents on the street at a corner meat market. Seems like the locals were up in arms after two dangerous fires raced through the community. Consequently, this glorified hose squad was formed for the purpose of replacing the hand-to-hand bucket brigade which proved futile in saving those fire afflicted properties. A horse-drawn wagon w...
Eggertsville, NY is one of those small living enclaves with a tag that seems like it begs for immediate medical attention. At first blush, with an official handle like "CDP" (census-designated place) that's issued by the United States (U.S.) Census Bureau for little hamlets like this one, its designation sounds more like a bump in the road or a map maker's forgotten afterthought rather than the functional, laid-back neck-of-the-woods this neat little burg actually is. It communicates with the "outside world" merely with a single postal zip code signature (14226) while confined within a larger, more recognized surrounding area -- in this case, the contiguous towns of Amherst, Snyder, Tonawanda and, to some extent, the city of Buffalo.

Scoring an apartment with hardwood floors can be a big win for Eggertsville renters. They`re typically a beautiful addition to your space. They’re also easier to clean and sweep, particularly if you have pets.
However, there are some downsides. Hardwood floors carry sounds. They can also make your apartment noisy for your roommates and downstairs neighbors.
Ask the landlord or property manager about the hardwood floors before signing a lease. Are they actually hardwood or a popular composite alternative? The latter is probably easier to clean and care for than the real thing.
It’s also important to ask about who’s responsible for any damage to the floors and what that entails. Your security deposit could take a hit from scratches, dents, and other damage.
Consider the type of climate you live in. Hardwood floors typically don’t fare well in damp climates full of moisture. Stains and buckling are common in hardwood floors after rain flooding or excessive moisture.
However, hardwood floors can be ideal for dry climates or sunny areas for renters who love the way they look.
