Buffalo’s Forest neighborhood is a large community on the Niagara River, about ten minutes north of Downtown. Charming homes and historic buildings dominate the landscape, with a few small cafes and bars providing popular hangouts for the locals. For more diverse fare, Elmwood Avenue features a terrific selection of restaurants and coffeehouses and the Elmwood Plaza shopping center is just a few minutes to the north. SUNY Buffalo State sits on the northeast side of the community, making it an excellent location for students, faculty, and staff to find housing.
