The Delaware-West Ferry neighborhood of Buffalo features beautifully renovated high-rise apartments, as well as gracious, single-family homes on tree-lined streets. Its central location, with SUNY Buffalo just to the northwest and downtown Buffalo just over a mile south, makes it easy to get to work.
The 350 acres of Delaware Park anchors the Delaware-West Ferry neighborhood, and residents gather there for ice skating in the winter and sports ranging from golf to rugby in the summer. Summer concerts and Shakespeare in the Park also sit within easy walking distance from apartments and condos for rent. After a day at the park, stroll down Elmwood Avenue to choose between dozens of popular restaurants, or head to Hutch's for its amazing jambalaya pasta.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
