What are the best areas to live in Buffalo, NY?|190014

I am thinking about relocating to Buffalo for a few different reasons, but I am hoping for some advice. What areas are good and which ones are bad? Is the weather worse in some places than others? Which places are safest, etc. Thank you!

We_d welcome you here.

I guess it depends on what you are looking for in terms of location. The general rule is, snow piled up the more south you go from the city of Buffalo. Yes, storms do hit everywhere from time to time because of lake effect snow, but the so-called southtowns get hit more often (West Seneca, Hamburg, Orchard Park, etc.).

In the city, the best area is probably North Buffalo. South Buffalo isn_t far behind although a little more blue collar. The other parts of the town aren_t as nice. City living has its advantages in terms of convenience and lifestyle.

In the suburbs, the economic leaders probably are Clarence, Orchard Park, East Aurora, Amherst, Williamsville and Lancaster. Lackawanna is down there with Buffalo in terms of average income. Tonawanda is a notch above.

The best places probably would be Clarence or Amherst.
Worst would be in the actually city or the Tondawanas.
The weather_s worst in the Southtowns. (west seneca, hamburg, etc.) The weather really isn_t that bad though, it_s the unemployment.
