An art movement unique to Aurora
Founded in 1804, East Aurora is known as a trendy small town, so much so that Hallmark films here, hoping to perfectly capture the quintessential American hometown. And it lives up to this image; many residents and business owners have known each other for decades and while most streets are quiet, there’s always something going on in The Village. On the rare chance there isn’t, downtown Buffalo and the neighboring Buffalo River are 22 miles away, providing locals with city amenities and riverfront recreation.

Jazz nights at the historic Roycroft Inn
Along Main Street, the town’s everlasting art community and colorful history are palpable. "It's just filled with historic buildings, like The Aurora Theatre, which is over a century-old," says Maureen Flavin, a Realtor with Howard Hanna Brokerage, who has 32 years of experience in Buffalo. "It also has this artsy vibe that is unique to Aurora." The father of the American Arts and Crafts Movement, Elbert Hubbard, had a big creative influence on this community by building the Roycroft Inn, now offering weekly wine tastings and jazz nights. Another historical landmark is just a few blocks down. Millard Filmore’s home, the only house built by a US president with his own hands, is open to the public. East Aurora is filled to the brim with attractions unique to the area and families, dressed up, can be seen entering the theatre on Main Street. Many events occur in June, such as the East Aurora Music Festival and The Roycroft Summer Festival; the latter is held at the local ice rink.

A Hallmark-approved Main Street USA
Dotted between local shops on Main Street are bakeries, restaurants and breweries. Parents with strollers can be seen walking to Elm Street Bakery before perusing one of many family-owned five-and-dime stores and boutiques. Four Honeybees Cottage and Vidler’s are less than a mile away, providing retro gifts and candy. There’s Griffon Gastro Pub and Wallenwein’s, an Aurora staple since 1882, serving fish fry in a dimly lit tavern off Oakwood Avenue. Bar-Bill cooks up iconic Buffalo Wings and 42 North features a farm-to-table menu and locally crafted brews, just a mile down the road. When the sun sets and the gas light glows behind Elm Street Bakery, The General Riley House Speakeasy is open to those looking for cocktails, beer or a glass of wine. For pantry necessities, locals head over to TOPS Friendly Market, East Aurora Cooperative Market and Country Cupboard Natural Foods. East Aurora Flea & Farmers Market, located in East Aurora Antique Mall on Big Tree Road, is a popular spot for local produce, honey and artisanal goods.

Homes as unique as Aurora
Little Free Libraries and tree-lined sidewalks can be found around every corner of residential side streets. 1950s semi-detached row homes are the signature architectural style in this neighborhood, except for a few Cape Cod style homes. Some properties are updated with in-ground pools and the occasional manicured garden. For renters, Maple Terrace Apartments are walkable to Main Street.

Aurora residents find solace among community gardens, open fields and parks of all sizes.

Nearby, Cazenovia Creek runs adjacent to The Village, offering wooded fishing spots for bluegill and largemouth bass. "It's in the Snow Band," Flavin says.
