Orchard Park Reviews

38 reviews
All Categories
Orchard Park is a rich white suburb of Buffalo. It has very little diversity or character compared to the city. Restaurants are ho-hum. Schools are good for molding white-collar workers, and sports are emphasized over individuality. Local government seems stuck in the 1950s, bows to the whims of the old-boy network and lacks transparency. That said, it's relatively safe and there's alot of pleasantly inoffensive people around.

Orchard Park is so lovely. We have great local boutiques, restaurants from casual to formal, bakeries and a very hip new smoothie place called green eats. Green lake is the perfect place for a scenic stroll near water. Chestnut Ridge Park has the best view of the city, a challenging disc golf course and beautiful hiking trails. Orchard Park doesn't need to change at all.
Orchard Park is a very good village to live in. Orchard Park represents many restaurants and all of the best public schools that provide safety for students. I enjoy that every store and restaurants are very close by and a local store is not even a block away from where I live. In Orchard Park, many people know of each other.
