West Shore Apartments, a local second-generation family-owned and operated business, has been helping college students and others Make Ithaca Home since 1967. Our unique properties are conveniently located in Collegetown near Cornell University and along the scenic West Shore of Cayuga Lake.

 


As Ithaca residents since 1963, we know what it’s like to call this place home. Our family includes Ithaca High School graduates, Cornell parents, and Cornell alumni. Our business started out of necessity—unable to afford a full mortgage, we borrowed money to buy a building and lived in one of its three one-bedroom apartments. That experience taught us how important it is to have a space that feels safe and comfortable. We know the hopes and concerns that students, their families, and new residents may have. That’s why we provide personal guidance, answering questions and helping make the rental process simple and stress-free. Whether you’re here for a semester or a few years, we want you to feel welcome and at home in Ithaca. From your first question, we’re here every step of the way. Whether you're coming to Ithaca for a semester or a lifetime, we’re here to help.
