Broadway-Fillmore Homes for Rent

Broadway-Fillmore, located on the lower east side of downtown Buffalo, is a culturally diverse neighborhood with a rich history and ongoing revitalization efforts. The area is anchored by The Broadway Market, a community hub since the 1880s, and the Buffalo Central Terminal, an Art Deco landmark undergoing restoration. Homes here, primarily built between 1900 and 1920, feature colonial and Stick style influences, often with wide front porches and full attic spaces. The neighborhood offers a mix of single-family homes and investment properties, with prices reflecting their age and condition. Broadway-Fillmore's educational landscape includes private Islamic schools like Universal School and The Darul Uloom Al Madania, and the highly rated Bishop Timon-St. Jude High School. Public school options include Harriet Ross Tubman Academy and East Community High School. Residents enjoy proximity to Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Park, located just north of the neighborhood, which features green spaces, a playground, a splash pad, and the Buffalo Museum of Science. Lincoln Park and its field house provide additional recreational facilities. Dining options are diverse, with Middle Eastern eateries such as Alibaba Kebab, Almandi, and Yemen Star Restaurant, along with Madina Halal Sweets & Restaurant and Shy’s Original Steakhouse. Grocery shopping is convenient with ALDI and Save A Lot nearby. Public transportation is accessible via the NFTA light rail and bus system, and major roads like U.S. Route 62 and Interstate 90 are easily reachable. While the neighborhood has crime rates comparable to the national average, ongoing community and government efforts aim to enhance safety and livability.
