Larger homes in this affluent neighborhood
East Amherst — 17 miles north of Downtown Buffalo — is one of the wealthiest neighborhoods in Erie County. Its nearest neighbors are the hamlets of Eggertsville, Getzville and Snyder and the town of Williamsville. Each of these areas encompassed by Amherst have their own parks, shopping and vibe while sharing a truly suburban personality. Aside from being more upscale than its neighbors, East Amherst is distinctive for its residences. “Most homes in Amherst are historic and built in the ‘30s. You’ll find more ‘90s-era homes and larger properties in East Amherst,” says Williamsville local Joseph Strano, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty NY.
Vast home design options fill East Amherst
The average list price in East Amherst is around $480,000, though the larger and newer a property becomes, it may travel toward the millions. Entry points may also be as low as $250,000 for a three-bedroom condo or townhouse. A three-bedroom Colonial-style home with opportunities for updates might go for $340,000, a four-bedroom Tudor-influenced home on a quiet cul-de-sac for $470,000 and a four-bedroom New Traditional with a large back porch for $600,000. Architecture generally reflects these styles, though some homes have farmhouse and Victorian details. The area has a neighborly vibe, where kids play in the streets and friends stroll along sidewalks. Newly paved driveways, vibrant flowerbeds and large manicured lawns are common here. Trees are plenty, but not at all crowded, and the area is golden come fall.
