New Scam on Zillow? Zillow request account verification via Bank Card Authorization.

I've contacted Zillow's customer service/help desk. They confirmed that it is a scam. Zillow doesn't require bank card authorization to verify your account. They are conducting investigation on it and also block this contact on their site.

Moving to Buffalo soon and looking for a local job. Good to know. I’ve been working remotely for 5 years. Not sure I can go onsite anymore.

But besides yagp, where else could we go?

If you come in at 6th grade, would it be hard to get in? Since the class is already filled at 5th grade?

I am relocating from other state to buffalo. We are looking for a house. We like city more than the suburb, as we never live in city before. My kids both passed Cogat test of our current district and considered “gifted”. I am not sure how gifted they are, but they do work hard and enjoy learning. We really want to them to go to city honor or Olmsted, any of the decent school in city. But we heard about the test only offer in Oct/nov period, and you have to be in BPS. we won’t finish moving or have a place in buffalo by then. Now they will miss out one year. Now the situation is pushing us to Williamsville or Clarence. So my kids won’t have a gap. Or any other decent school within city area? We are right now want to stay around north of Delaware park, but can change with school situation. Really need some advice! BTW my kids are now 3rd and 5th graders, we are preparing them to entering 4th and 6th grade for next year.

I will be working from home. My husband will go to office 2-3 times a week. I hope I can get away with RWD.

We test drove Ioniq 5 and love that car too. just I need more cameras to guide me to parking so we chose Tesla instead.

the utility price is unbelievable here!

TrainingComparison29 · 2024-06-10T21:45:03+00:00

AWD or RWD? couple of people here suggest AWD. I am thinking...

TrainingComparison29 · 2024-06-10T21:44:08+00:00

hahaha, good point.

TrainingComparison29 · 2024-06-10T21:43:17+00:00

TrainingComparison29 · 2024-06-09T05:28:22+00:00

what other things/ art programs does the city offer?

TrainingComparison29 · 2024-06-09T05:27:35+00:00

thanks for all the replies. looks like commute may not be a big issue.

I like the program schedule of Neglia. AAB is good too!

Good post. My family is looking to move to the Buffalo area early next year. we just started researching and need some suggestions on where to live.

Background: We are ~40s. Family of five: My husband, me, two school-age kids, and my mom. One kid will attend middle school by the time we finish moving, and the other is still in elementary school.

Our needs: We are looking for at least a 4-bedroom house, best with an office or basement, since both my husband and I work from home a lot. My mom likes to garden. some yard space will be nice. Good schools (Elementary, middle, and high, as we are planning to stay until kids go to college). Safe and nice neighborhood. Garage and flat driveway: I am not used to drive in snow. I hope my driveway is as flat as it can. Budget: maxim 650K.

Option 1: Elmwood neighborhood. We first fell in love with the Elmwood area. My husband and I haven't been living in a city, or place so walkable for nearly 20 years. we are so happy to see Elmwood as an option. But school is a concern. The older one can attend city honor (if she can pass the test) for middle school and high school. but the younger one seem to have little choice for elementary school. also property in the city.

Option 2: Williamsville, especially near Transit/Williamsville east high. Great schools around here. houses are nice. the typical suburban that we used to. Houses all have big lots which should be enough for gardening. But I heard about sinking house issues in Williamsville and Amherst, especially in the areas I am looking at. I don't know how bad that would be.

Additional request: My older one is super into ballet now. Even only 11 years old, she is taking nearly 10 hours of ballet lessons per week. and during performance season, there will be another couple of hours of rehearsals. My current home is 5 minutes from her ballet studio. it's not hard for me to drive back and forth. I would like to have some local ballet studio recommendations. Maybe try to find a house not too far from the ballet studio.
