Cleveland Hill, 7 miles from downtown Buffalo, is distinct from its closest neighbors for its home styles. “It’s a small pocket of Cheektowaga where a lot of homes were built pre-World War II, and that’s a rarity,” says Buffalo-born and raised Realtor Dominic Lettieri, who grew up next to Cleveland Hill. Cleveland Hill is also zoned for the Cleveland Hill School District, which is highly rated. All of this, coupled with the area's affordability, leads to an increased demand. “The neighborhood is also super close to shops and airports. It’s right in the middle of everything.” Lettieri works for Hunt Real Estate.
Not-so-cookie cutter homes
“One side of the neighborhood is in the city, and the other is more suburban. It’s still a suburb overall but very busy and full. People are always out walking and driving,” Lettieri says. The area is dense, with 10 people per acre living in Cleveland Hill, and houses sit relatively close together. Brick Cape Cods, Tudor-style homes, a few ranch-style properties and Colonial revivals dot the streetscapes. Some residences have hipped roofs and chimneys built into their front façade or are painted colors from salmon pink to bright yellow and teal. A cozy cottage in Cleveland Hill could sell for $200,000, a four-bedroom ranch that’s been fully renovated may go for $300,000 and a stately five-bedroom Tudor-style home might sell for around $400,000.

The history of Cheektowaga
After Amherst, Cheektowaga is the second largest suburb of Buffalo. The area was once comprised of rural farms, but development boomed after WWII, transforming the area into a thriving suburb. The name Cheektowaga derives from Chictawauga, meaning “land of the crabapples” in the language of the Seneca people. However, the area's earliest inhabitants were the Iroquois. The median build year for homes in Cheektowaga proper is 1956.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
