Access to Canada, Niagara University and scenic views

North End neighborhood is on a peak bounded by the blue waters of Niagara to the west. “A lot of people from Canada have second homes here. You can walk over the bridge to get there. It only takes 10 minutes,” says Realtor Maritza Tortora of Red Door Real Estate. The neighborhood is near several state parks, including ArtPark in the city of Lewiston. It’s also close to Niagara University and many students and professors make their home here. Some consider the area up-and-coming, so developers are naturally keen to invest. Tortora is one of those developers, currently focused on rehabbing properties in the area.

Brightly designed homes move fast

Houses in North End are mostly ‘30s builds. Eclectic two-story properties with farmhouse, Colonial, Tudor and ranch-style details are common here and facades are bright. The streets are filled with leaf confetti during the crispest months and sidewalks connect neighbors. Due to their relative affordability, homes also move fast. “Everything has slowed down because of the interest rates but homes in North End can sell in less than a week,” Tortora adds. A five-bedroom home with opportunities for updates recently sold for $85,000, a four-bedroom American Foursquare sold for $136,000 and a three-bedroom brick property for $191,500. The median home price in this neighborhood is around $170,000.

White cheddar grilled cheese at The Griffon Gastropub

Niagara Guys and The Griffon Gastropub are frequented by locals. The pub has a rustic exterior with its hipped roof, wood paneling and barrels at the entranceway. The menu includes a wide variety of American classics — including a fried grilled cheese made with Wisconsin white cheddar cheese curds. Niagara Guys is known for their fresh handmade pizza, including their heart-shaped pizza for special occasions. For retail options, Tortora says locals head to Pine Avenue where there are box chains like Walgreens and Family Dollar, and a few locally-owned shops like Kings & Queens fashion store. Tops Friendly Market, 23 miles away along Interstate 190, is one of the best grocery stores nearby as it’s stocked with a wide range of produce and packaged goods.

Hiking along Niagara Falls at Whirlpool Park

Neighbors on Lewiston Road can see the DeVeaux Woods State Park from their front porch, known for its scenic meadow, trails through old-growth forests, athletic fields and more. One of the state park’s trails leads to Whirlpool Park, which offers a two-tiered hiking opportunity along the Niagara River, taking locals from the base of the gorge to a height from which they can witness the whirlpool. It also has a playground and picnic tables for the kids and cozy gatherings.

Investors can bring new life to Main Street

North End has seen neglect over the years, which has led to a dampening of spirit along Main Street where many storefronts are now boarded. Revitalization initiatives have been proposed and carefully thought through, but they have not been successful due to financial constraints and paused partnerships. Individual investors, like Tortora, see the hope for the area.

Playing a beat at Percussion Garden

Main Street connects to Lewiston Road taking residents toward the Lewiston community within a few short miles. Lewiston’s 108-acre ArtPark is just six miles away and has been a cultural institution since the ‘70s. The park's main stage theater has hosted big names like Bon Iver, Chicago and more. Its grounds house numerous art exhibits, including the Murmuration sculpture representing flocks of birds flying through the sky, and the Percussion Garden, providing a playful way to explore sound within a natural landscape. Neighbors can also walk to the Canadian side of Niagara falls and hit all the tourist destinations.
