The Benefits of Living in a Buffalo Suburb

March 2, 2016 by dl2

Why do people move from the city to the suburbs? Usually, it’s because the lots are wider so they’re not so close to their neighbors, there’s plenty of room in the front, side and back yard for kids to run around and play, and the schools are above average. The Buffalo suburbs are popular precisely for these reasons.

Lots of married couples with little kids want the suburban experience. The suburbs aren’t lacking nearby amenities like rural areas often do, and they’re also considered safer than urban areas where people are living close together and there’s often concentrated poverty. Indeed, the suburbs of any city, including Buffalo, are generally safe, affluent, and loaded with quality shops and restaurants and schools.

As a realtor, Donna Littlefield specializes in Wheatfield, Pendleton and Amherst. These Buffalo suburbs are the epitome of what a foreigner would consider the typical, idyllic American suburb. People use cars to get to-and-fro, there are plenty of recreational activities available in nice parks and such, and things are generally kept-up, modern, and clean.

Amherst is home to the University at Buffalo, which brings a smart, diverse group of people to the area. The campus offers sporting events, concerts, art shows and more. Indeed, the university’s presence enhances the overall region with its brainy professors, creative students and many good-paying jobs for all sorts of people.

Wheatfield and Pendleton are a little more “sleepy,” in a good way. They’re the kind of suburbs people like to go home to in order to get away from the crowded, noisier urban areas. They offer nice, affordable homes. Being in between Niagara Falls and Buffalo, it’s a quick car ride to either for various entertainment options, from casinos to concerts.

Where would, for instance, soccer moms choose to live if they were moving to the Buffalo area? Wheatfield, Pendleton and Amherst are all great choices. Donna Littlefield is the realtor to connect buyers with homes for sale in these quality Buffalo suburbs. Call her today at 716-578-1788.

Why Western New York is a Great Place to Raise a Family

December 8, 2015 by dl1

Western New YorkMost people like the idea of the American Dream, where parents and kids can live in a nice home on a nice street with a nice yard where they’re safe, comfortable, and there are lots of amenities nearby. The American Dream is alive and well in Buffalo and Western New York. And it’s remarkably affordable.

Why call the suburban areas of Wheatfield, Pendleton, or Amherst home? These are ideal places to raise families. You’ll enjoy lots of free concerts and festivals in the summertime. You’ll learn how to ski or skate in the winter. The smell of fallen leaves and bonfires and apples in the fall will become something you cherish, even if you’re not willing to admit it. And spring’s flowers, especially the tulips, add a nice touch each May. If you’re looking for a place that combines big city amenities with a small town feel, Western New York is that kind of place. Everything’s “20 minutes” away (or less) it seems and it’s the kind of place where if your car breaks down, someone’s liable to stop and ask if you need help.

Crime is low, schools are good, and the people are friendly and genuine. You’re likely to meet a lot of people who have deep roots in Western New York, and they’re likely to invite you over for a barbeque or pool party. Your kids and their kids will play together. People aren’t pretentious in Western New York. They’re, instead, comfy in jeans and sweatshirts, sharing the common love for the Bills and Sabres, even when they don’t make the playoffs, and there’s a real sense of “home.”

If you like that American Dream feeling associated with “Normal Rockwell” paintings, then Western New York is the kind of place you should consider moving to! Call Donna Littlefield at 716- 578-1788 to find a home you’ll love in a place you’ll appreciate.

Community Highlight: Pendleton

September 30, 2015 by dl2

Just north of Erie County, and centrally located between Buffalo, Niagara Falls and Lockport sits the beautiful community of Pendleton. Offering residents all the benefits of country life with ready access to city convenience, Pendleton is a booming community, with many new Forbes homes and other custom constructions popping up throughout the town. Here’s a look at a few of the features that make Pendleton so great!

Schools

Starpoint School District serves the Pendleton community, with four buildings separated into primary, intermediate, middle and high schools. The district is a consistent high performer, and ranked as eighth – the top district in Niagara County – in Buffalo Business First’s ranking of Western New York schools.

Parks

The community also hosts several parks for families to enjoy, including the 22-acre Pendleton Town Park that offers baseball diamonds and cages, tennis courts and playground areas for children, along with barbecue and pavilion space. Depeau and Nine Mile Island parks are also part of the town, and available for community members to rent or visit. In addition, the county’s West Canal Marina is within the town limits, and offers playground and pavilion space as well as a boat launch area to access the Erie Canal.

Commute

Residents in Pendleton also enjoy a fairly reasonable commute to anywhere in the region. Located roughly 30 minutes from the downtown areas of both Niagara Falls and Buffalo, and only 15 minutes from Lockport, denizens can quickly commute to jobs in any of these areas or easy get to nightlife, Sabres games, groceries or anything else they need. Truly Pendleton offers the best of both worlds – casual, spacious life in the open country with city access and amenities to compare with an urban or suburban lifestyle.
