Suburban living close to everything

Located in "Buffalo's First Suburb," —trips to the farmer's market, youth sports events and attending annual events make sense in Kenmore Northeast. This community is a part of Kenmore, a village in the larger town of Tonawanda. Locals often refer to the area as Ken-Ton, just 6 miles from Downtown Buffalo and 20 miles from Niagara Falls, and together create a close-knit atmosphere. Amid the hustle and bustle of Sheridan Avenue, the neighborhood offers residents proximity to well-regarded schools and shopping around every corner.

Mixed home styles close to schools

Neighbors walking their dogs and biking as the sunrises are common in Kenmore Northeast planned in a grid design. Sidewalks and abundant trees traverse the community, adorning the front yards of American-Foursquare, Cape Cod, ranch and Neo Traditional style homes. Residences vary from street to street, and Little Free Libraries dot the neighborhood. Many homes feature front porches and enclosed backyards, with locals typically opting for in-ground pools, and many residents have sump pumps. "You can get a three-bedroom, one-and-a-half bath for about $250,000, which is low compared to Deerhurst Park at $350,000," says Susan Lenahan, Associate Broker with MJ Peterson Real Estate.

Running errands and grabbing dinner

Sheridan Drive buzzes during the day, with locals heading to work or doing light shopping for the week. "It's a huge commercial area. I did some shopping on Sheridan Drive yesterday; as a matter of fact," Lenahan says. Aldi, Tops Friendly Market, Planet Fitness and Northtown Garden Center are along this thoroughfare, and further east are Trader Joe's, Target, and Whole Foods. Residents keep foot traffic peddling down Delaware Avenue at shops like Apples & Oranges Records & Tapes. On that same street, The Delaware Pub & Grill offers two stories of outdoor seating, while Mike & Pop's Bistro & Tavern dishes out signature bistro bites and handhelds. Twinkling lights greet patrons outside Clay Handi Restaurant for traditional Pakistani cuisine, and Anderson's Frozen Custard is the spot for a sweet treat.

Poolside vibes and youth sports

Though no greenspaces are within Kenmore Northeast, residents are a drive away from the outdoors. Within 2 miles is Lincoln Park, where locals come for picnics, tennis, baseball and ice skating. It is home to several little leagues and a pool only to be used by Ken-Ton residents, coming alive during lessons and swim team practice. Crosby Village Park is near the Kenmore Branch Library, with several sports courts and a playground for the kids. Residents are also 4 miles from Riverside Park, along the waters of the Niagara River and Delaware Park, home to the Buffalo Zoo and Buffalo AKG Art Museum. Locals grab their golf clubs and head to Sheridan Park Golf Course on East Park Drive and Brighton Park Golf Course on Brompton Road.

Specialized programs for learners

The neighborhood is 5 miles from the University at Buffalo (North Campus), and students in the area may be a part of the Kenmore-Tonawanda Union Free School District. Referred to locally as the Ken-Ton School District, it offers an IB Program and career and technical education programs. Near home are Herbert Hoover Elementary and Herbert Hoover Middle, which share the same campus and rank B-minus, according to Niche. Kenmore West Senior High is right outside the neighborhood, with Niche ranking it a B, hosting a robust athletics department and afterschool clubs for college and career preparation, technology and the student-run newspaper—the Blue Devil Beat.

Let's go to the Farmer's Market

Jars of fresh jam and farm-grown tomatoes are stocked to the brim at the Kenmore Farmer's Market every Sunday from June through October. The Village of Kenmore hosts all sorts of things with the changing seasons. When the summer heat arrives, so does Kenmore Days, the longest-running community event with three days of carnival rides. And classic cars ride down Delaware Avenue during the Kenmore Car Cruise. Winter brings Santa to the Village, accompanied by carriage rides, caroling and the annual tree lighting.
