West Hertel's illuminating future
About 6 miles north of downtown is West Hertel, a neighborhood that takes pride in being a part of a city with such an illuminating past. In 1886, Buffalo flipped the switch and became the first-ever electrified city, and subsequently nicknamed “the City of Light." Fast forward to 2022, and Buffalo's still making waves, scoring a $55 million Federal Grant through the Bipartisan Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act's Reconnecting Communities Program. It's not just about the money; it's about breathing new life into neighborhoods like West Hertel. “North Buffalo is considered a great place in Buffalo," says Maureen Flavin, a Realtor with Howard Hanna, who has 32 years of experience. “It is slightly south of Kenmore, which is very desirable.”
Live within walking distance of the Buffalo Zoo
West Hertel homes have many architectural styles throughout the suburban neighborhoods surrounding the Buffalo Zoo. Streets framed with narrow, rough sidewalks look up to townhomes, ranch houses and Cape Cods, most of which were built in the 1920s. Residences often average 1,200 square feet and share a stick style, wide porches, two-story balconies and bay windows. Average home sales are between $225,00 and $253,000. But, just like the rest of the region, West Hertel wrestles with low inventory.
Homes in Military on average sell just six days after being offered on the marked.
Many homes in Military feature wide porches and second story balconies.

From Moriaty Meats to Barrel and Brine
Within minutes from home, residents have a plethora of diverse shopping and dining options. Tops Elmwood Plaza is about 1 mile away and provides Target and ALDI for daily essentials and a fun night at the local movie theatre. Just a mile down the road from the plaza, Buffalo Cider Hall specializes in a diverse selection of ciders alongside Barrel and Brine, a local Kombucha Brewery. Right off Elmwood Avenue, neighbors pop into Moriaty Meats, which offers premium meats, and a café that serves its famous gyros. Travel farther south from home to Anchor Bar, the original creator of Buffalo chicken wings, for live jazz performances, wings and a cold beer. West Hertel locals are in luck if they prefer a night out clubbing, as the surrounding nightlife in Buffalo keeps the fun going until 4:00 am rather than 2:00 am, like most cities in the country.
Barrel and Brine is a local Kombucha Brewery just south of Military.
