Cleveland Hill
Not-so-cookie cutter homes
“One side of the neighborhood is in the city, and the other is more suburban. It’s still a suburb overall but very busy and full. People are always out walking and driving,” Lettieri says. The area is dense, with 10 people per acre living in Cleveland Hill, and houses sit relatively close together. Brick Cape Cods, Tudor-style homes, a few ranch-style properties and Colonial revivals dot the streetscapes. Some residences have hipped roofs and chimneys built into their front façade or are painted colors from salmon pink to bright yellow and teal. A cozy cottage in Cleveland Hill could sell for $200,000, a four-bedroom ranch that’s been fully renovated may go for $300,000 and a stately five-bedroom Tudor-style home might sell for around $400,000.

Learning pathways for students
Alongside the Cleveland Hill School District, some residences are also zoned for the Cheektowaga-Maryvale Union Free School District and Amherst Central School District. One pipeline in the Cleveland Hill School District is Cleveland Hill Elementary School, Cleveland Hill Middle School and Cleveland Hill High School. The elementary school earns a B minus from Niche, the middle school earns a B score and the high school is rated A minus. The high school holds a winter band and chorus concert each year, adding warmth to cold months.

Residents of all ages get outside for fun
Cherry Park, which some locals can walk to from their homes on Gardenvale Drive and Peachrow Lane, has basketball and tennis courts and a playground. Cheektowaga Town Park, 2 miles away along Harlem Road, also has an outdoor pool for summer days and family fun.
/
From Bailey Avenue to Harlem Road
There are local shops and chains along each main road in Cleveland. Bailey Avenue has a little bit of everything, including an Imperial Food Market and M&T bank. The Jamaican restaurant Caribbean Experience is also on Bailey Avenue, and their jerk chicken bowl has been described by locals as divinely delicious. There’s also a Tops Friendly Market and a WellNow Urgent Care along Harlem Road. For a large shopping center, Walden Galleria Mall — with its 200 stores from Sephora to Zara, Primark and more — is less than 4 miles from the neighborhood.

Connected living
The Buffalo Metro Rail, operated by the Niagra Frontier Transportation Authority, serves Cleveland Hill. Walking to many places on foot is possible as the neighborhood is only a few miles in any direction. The nearest airport is Buffalo Niagara International, only 4 miles away along Route 33, which bounds the community to the south. New York State Route 240 also runs directly through the area. Cleveland Hill is also bordered by Interstate 99 to the East, making it a well-connected place to live.
/
Residents get together for community sport events
Cleveland Hill locals are focused on connecting and staying active. “They have community-drive softball leagues for both adults and kids. They also have a little library system where people have makeshift boxes propped on their lawn with used books inside,” Lettieri says.The history of Cheektowaga
After Amherst, Cheektowaga is the second largest suburb of Buffalo. The area was once comprised of rural farms, but development boomed after WWII, transforming the area into a thriving suburb. The name Cheektowaga derives from Chictawauga, meaning “land of the crabapples” in the language of the Seneca people. However, the area's earliest inhabitants were the Iroquois. The median build year for homes in Cheektowaga proper is 1956.

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.
