The Elmwood Bryant area is wonderfully walkable

Buffalo’s Elmwood Bryant area has a vibrant and artsy vibe. It’s colored by murals and teems with bars, coffee shops and boutiques that are all within walking distance from home. The highly urban area is known for its central shopping strip along Elmwood Avenue, art galleries, music venues, and century-old houses. “It’s the go-to spot when coming to Buffalo,” says Carissa Sutter, a Realtor with Red Door Real Estate and a Buffalo local.

Residents shop and dine down Elmwood Avenue

The Elmwood Bryant area has hundreds of shops, cafes and restaurants — many of which are locally owned. Along Elmwood Avenue alone there's an Aldi's for grocery runs and locals have their pick of places to grab a cup of joe, including Blue Mountain Coffee. The avenue’s Buffalo Kitchen Club is known for its fried lobster tails, and retail spots like Thin Ice feature handmade gifts, jewelry and home décor that showcase the work of local artists. A few blocks away, on Chandler Street, locals can enjoy a craft beer and live music at Thin Man Brewery.

Trees as old as the neighborhood tower over wide roads and small yards. Narrow sidewalks and driveways intersect and show wear from harsh New York winters. The average sale price hovers around $400,000. A four-bedroom Craftsman cottage in the Elmwood Bryant area might sell for $350,000, while a sprawling eight-bedroom Queen Anne might fetch $900,000.

Catch the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra at Kleinhans Music Hall

Each June, locals attend the Pride festival that runs through the city's heart. The annual Elmwood Village Art Fest in August features the work of dozens of local artists, live music and dancers. For a bit of history, The Karpeles Manuscript Library Museum contains timeless manuscripts related to literature, science, music, art and more. Residents can also head to the Kleinhans Music Hall – known for its Chopin statue – to watch the Buffalo Philharmonic Orchestra.

Enjoy the outdoors at Symphony Circle

With its fountain, lavender flowers and benches, Symphony Circle is a pleasant place to spend the afternoon. “Bidwell Park, which is not even a park but really just a piece of land, also hosts live music every Tuesday,” Sutter says. Neighbors can head to the 350-acre Delaware Park, 3 miles away via Delaware Avenue, for its Japanese garden adorned with cherry trees and quaint boating lake.
