About Us

The Chason Affinity Companies began 90 years ago as Godfrey Realty Co., a developer, builder, owner and manager of residential real estate. In 1950, Godfrey built the Kensington Village Apartments on a large parcel of land, just a short drive from downtown Buffalo.

Today, after undergoing a major rehabilitation as well as the addition of a new 16,000 square foot community center, it has re-opened as Collegiate Village.

Collegiate Village is strategically located within minutes of several Buffalo colleges and universities. We are minutes away from Canisius College, Medaille College, Daemen College and the University at Buffalo. Collegiate Village is Western New York’s only state-of-the-art regional student housing campus. Our professional management team, including a Resident Life Director with staff, are focused on making living at Collegiate Village an exceptional experience. They are in tune with the different needs and expectations of residents ranging from freshmen to graduate students.

The future of Collegiate Village as a regional catalyst for Buffalo area colleges, universities and education as a whole makes it an interesting and welcoming place in which to live. Come visit us!
