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.
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.
Houses in the Elmwood Bryant area reach back through time to the late 1800s. Queen Annes, Colonial Revivals, Victorians, Tudor Revivals and American Craftsman styles are all common here — as are wraparound porches, shingle facades and brightly painted exteriors. 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. Properties here sell within 36 days, faster than the national average.
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.
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.
Public transportation is plentiful in the Elmwood Bryant area. Locals have access to the city’s bike lanes, buses, light rail and subway. They can also easily navigate the neighborhood on foot. Murals decorate the streets, showcasing the artistry of the area. One of the newest is the community-driven “Together” mural by Casey Kelly Perez on Elmwood Avenue.
As part of the Buffalo Public Schools district, students in the area can apply to attend any public school of their choice. Nearby options include Frank A. Sedita Academy for pre-kindergarten through ninth grade and City Honors School At Fosdick-Masten Park for fifth through 12th grades. The elementary school earns a C-minus Niche rating, while City Honors School earns an impressive A. City Honors School offers International Baccalaureate programs for both middle and high school students.
