    Great blend of country living with shopping close by! Excellent school district! Also close to Buffalo Bills, Sabre’s, and Bandits!
    I love Clarence! I grew up here. Friendly community. In the middle of everywhere I need to go. The school system is one of the best in the area. I always feel safe never had any issues. Family friendly neighborhoods lots of kids around. Houses hold their value, although they may be more expensive.
