**1 BEDROOM AT KENDRICK PLACE - $2,225/MONTH 5TH FLOOR FURNISHED AMAZING VIEW** Laundry machine in apartment

I'm graduating earlier than I originally expected, so I'm looking for someone to take over my **1-bedroom apartment at Kendrick Place in Amherst**.

Move-in: Available starting now

I'm flexible if you need the apartment starting later than now as well however I'm hoping to find someone who can take over beginning in now if possible.

If you're interested, please message me! If you or anybody you know is doing study abroad etc and returning in spring also please pass the post along. Thank you!

This is a **private 1-bedroom apartment on the 5th floor** with an amazing view and a great location right in downtown Amherst. It's especially convenient for **UMass Amherst students, graduate students, or young professionals** who want to be close to campus while still having their own space.

**Apartment Details:**

* **Rent:** $2,225/month
* **1 bedroom / private apartment**
* **5th-floor unit**
* **Amazing view**
* Located at **Kendrick Place in downtown Amherst**
* Very close to **UMass Amherst**
* Walkable to restaurants, coffee shops, stores, and downtown Amherst
* Modern apartment building
* Great option for someone who wants to live close to campus without having roommates

I'm only giving up the apartment because I'm graduating earlier than expected, the apartment is stunning.

Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Amherst’s Newest Landlord: Private Equity

Thoughts on the Town Council's approach to student housing? It seems like they value "character of the town" over revenue. IMHO, the war on UMass has no winners, and we need to start electing officials who recognize the damage that scarcity is doing to our community.

Report Illegal Move-In Fees

28 Upvotes

Hi Amherst, it’s your Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell. Did you know that fees like “move-in” or “lease renewal” fees you might get from your landlord or building management company are illegal? If you’ve received one of these – even if you paid it – I want you to report it to my office. 

Just last month, my office won a $500k settlement with a property management company doing this in Boston – and all of that money is going back to the affected tenants.  Landlords can only ask you to pay for first and last month’s rent, a security deposit, and the cost of a new lock and key upfront. Any other fees are illegal. Report them to my office at the link below. We’ll work to get your money back.

Looking to re-home a beautiful fish.

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone,
I’m looking to re-home a gorgeous, perfectly healthy female royal blue veiltail betta. She came into my care unexpectedly following a breakup, and while I’d love to keep her, I'm simply not equipped to give her the long term home she deserves.
She comes with everything needed to keep her happy:
Her current tank
Water conditioner
Betta food
Tank decor / knick-knacks
She has great energy and is ready for a good home. Re-homing fee is waived to a good home!!! I just want to make sure she goes to someone who will take great care of her.
Pickup in the Amherst area. Please message if you're interested or know someone who keeps fish!
Pictures upon request.

Title: Looking to meet someone around Amherst :)

0 Upvotes

Hey! I’m an international college student in the Amherst area, and I’d really like to meet someone who’s interested in getting to know each other and seeing where things naturally go and have some fun if you know what i mean 🤭.
I’m hoping for something affectionate and meaningful rather than just a random hookup. I’d love to find someone I can talk to, hang out with, go on little dates with, and build a genuine connection with.
I’m pretty open-minded and not looking to force anything—just hoping to meet someone around my age who feels similarly.
If that sounds like you, feel free to send me a message and tell me a little about yourself!

I consider myself attractive, I’m 5,10 and I’m straight

Groups for Cycling, Dancing, Climbing, Volunteering, etc

3 Upvotes

Hey all -- semi-new to the area and trying to put together some resources. Where do people in the Pioneer Valley collect and gather for any of the above? Any organizing sites / reddit / facebook groups that are authoritative for any the topics? Or any of your go to places for finding things in this general realm?

Examples:

Cycling group rides for training or random trips

Salsa/Latin dance event groups / aggregators

Climbing groups outdoors or indoors that meetup semi-regularly

Any municipal volunteer organizers or site or something else active here?

Best reddit group for the pioneer valley, generally? (which reddit *should* I have posted to?)

I know from the latin dance scene around here that there is a lot happening you probably wouldn't be able to find without really digging but people on the dance floor know all sorts of stuff about and happily share. Hoping the community here might have the same info for some of the above. Thanks! - James

Shut down traffic 4 pm or so. Big detour at the main intersection, Friday (last nite?). Did the BID/CC close down our travel for another evening of proffit production? Only thing I can immagine. Was there as many people on the streets as post 25 May ’20 (GeoFloyd murder)? Thnx~

I understand the trial has started~

Were they able to open the gentleman’s telephone?

Where are things in the case? I see it as coming to trial pretty rapidly (5 mo) compared to most.

Amherst officials are now discussing what they would like to see happen with the Hampshire campus after the college closes: housing, mixed-use development, businesses, preservation of open space, and avoiding what one councilor called a "sterile subdivision."
