Get going in Getzville

The culture of the University at Buffalo North Campus seeps into the Getzville community. It is a public research institution and the largest of the university’s three campuses, with its Center of the Arts bringing world-class theater and dance performances to the stage along with crowds roaring for the Buffalo Bulls at UB Stadium. Getzville is a typical American suburb, 22 miles from Buffalo and 17 miles from Niagara Falls. Its namesake is derived from Joseph Goetz, a copper shop and mill owner when Getzville was known as a thriving agricultural community. Getzville is a hamlet in Amherst, the second largest town in Erie County, and offers residents a slower pace of life and natural amenities without being too far from the city.

Classic home styles amid verdant trees

Getzville’s winding roads and cul-de-sacs are situated among whispering pine and maple forests. Sidewalks line streets alongside medium-sized, well-maintained lots with homes having driveways and attached garages. House styles vary from street to street, with some subdivisions catering to Neo-traditional architecture with brick, stone and wooden masonry. While other avenues have classic colonials, Tudors and Victorian houses dotted among the landscape. Neighbors take pride in their homes, often having backyard pools and renovating older homes built in the 70’s and 80’s, with the median home price being $410,500.
