This part of the city has been transformed from a poor community with ugly and unsafe neighborhoods into a luxurious haven in Buffalo. The houses are high end and have been completely restored. Niagara street and Grant street are undergoing transformations also. This is a very walkable neighborhood with plenty to do. The housing is getting somewhat expensive. Most houses rent for 1500-2500. Most houses cost 300k-600k. The roads are good and there is very little traffic. The public schools are bad however there are several highly respect private schools nearby.
In Buffalo's West side there alot of diversity of the people living here but there not much government interactions. I think the government should pot roads and talk to the peoople that live there about their concerns.
I haven't had many experiences with the bars in this area because of my age, but it seems like the nightlife is a lot of fun. I personally love the sunday night bike ride. In a night, the ride would accomplish anywhere between 10-20 miles. It's a great workout and what better way to spend a sunday night in the summer time with a bunch of very good friends, riding bikes all over the city?! As many as 300 people have shown up and ridden all over Buffalo. It's an incredible experience. Restaurants in Buffalo are great. Two blocks from my house is a delicious Vietnamese restaurant that I frequent weekly. Also, the locally owned cafes are amazing. I stop by almost every day for a coffee at my favourite one and also used to work at my other favourite.
