Buffalo - A Great Place to Live
Buffalo is the second-largest city in New York State, with a population of more than two million people. It is a big city with a hometown feel. Located in the Buffalo-Niagara region of New York State, Buffalo is a thriving city situated in a region that offers a world of opportunity.
Buffalo offers all of the amenities of a major urban area—without the headaches. The average workday commute is less than 20 minutes, which is the lowest out of fifty major U.S. cities. Affordable housing is widely accessible throughout the area, and reasonable costs of living make the good life possible on any budget. Most neighborhoods offer easy access to shopping, recreation, dining, and excellent schools.
The cost of living in Buffalo remains low, while the quality of life here is second to none. Live a stone's throw from downtown in a beautiful old home; or if you prefer the country, our suburbs and rural communities are mostly within a 25 minute commute from downtown. The Buffalo-Niagara Region affords you both an exceptional quality of life and excellent professional opportunities.
Buffalo has American roots that run as deep as the War of 1812, the founding of the Erie Canal and the Underground Railroad. And Buffalo boasts one of the world's finest collections of modern art at the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, and an impressive collection of regional art at the Burchfield-Penney Art Center.
