Front Park - Buffalo, NY Area Guide

With Lake Erie on its western border, the Front Park neighborhood of Buffalo welcomes residents with a choice of low-rise apartment buildings and single-family homes. Downtown Buffalo sits less than a mile to the south, and the trendy bars and restaurants of Allentown lie within walking distance. The University at Buffalo's medical campus employs many in this neighborhood. The Front Park neighborhood takes its name from the famous park designed by Frederick Olmsted as a formal civic space intended for ceremonies and events. The park, which provides sweeping views of Lake Erie and the Niagara River, anchors the neighborhood with green space, sports courts, and picnicking facilities. Check out Market at Horsefeathers, an indoor vendor market, to enjoy artisanal cheese, beer, chocolates, and pasta.
