Quiet refuge in eastern Buffalo
Sloan is tucked against the eastern portion of Buffalo and the neighboring town of Cheektowaga and offers a quiet refuge in a well-connected suburb. “Sloan is a 3 to 5-minute drive from east Buffalo, right between the railroad tracks off Broadway. It’s just a cute little village right near Lovejoy on the east side,” says Ayat Nieves, a Licensed Real Estate Salesperson with Keller Williams Realty who has 13 years of real estate experience in the Buffalo area. The village was named after Samuel Sloan, the president of the Lackawanna Railroad, who built five railroads in the village in the 19th century. Today, a network of railroads still runs throughout Sloan, and modern residents enjoy a wide selection of historic homes, local community events and amenities from the neighboring cities.
Industrial homes from Buffalo’s manufacturing past
Many available homes in Sloan were built in the 1950s and 1960s, but some older properties date back to the 1910s and 1920s. The style of Sloan neighborhoods tends to be eclectic, with narrow industrial doubles built alongside brick-decorated colonial revival cottages. Sloan houses are on densely built streets, with neighbors sometimes sharing driveways or front yards. Homes prices range between $150,000 and $250,000, but some older properties can sell for under $100,000. The growing market means that houses usually sell within a week.
