East Amherst
Vast home design options fill East Amherst
The average list price in East Amherst is around $480,000, though the larger and newer a property becomes, it may travel toward the millions. Entry points may also be as low as $250,000 for a three-bedroom condo or townhouse. A three-bedroom Colonial-style home with opportunities for updates might go for $340,000, a four-bedroom Tudor-influenced home on a quiet cul-de-sac for $470,000 and a four-bedroom New Traditional with a large back porch for $600,000. Architecture generally reflects these styles, though some homes have farmhouse and Victorian details. The area has a neighborly vibe, where kids play in the streets and friends stroll along sidewalks. Newly paved driveways, vibrant flowerbeds and large manicured lawns are common here. Trees are plenty, but not at all crowded, and the area is golden come fall.

Belting Broadway classics at Transit Middle
East Amherst is served by the highly regarded Williamsville Central School District whose motto is “Encouraging. Nurturing. Challenging.” One complete pipeline within this district is Country Parkway Elementary School, Transit Middle School and Williamsville East High School. The elementary and middle schools earn an A rating from Niche. The high school scores an impressive A plus. The performing arts thrive across all Williamsville Central School District facilities. Transit Middle’s performing arts department regularly hosts musicals where students were invited to participate on all levels — from acting to lighting to directing.

Swing and swim at Transit Valley Country Club
The Transit Valley Country Club on Transit Road offers an 18-hole golf course, a junior-Olympic-sized pool with a diving board, clubhouse with a dining area, and a recreational center with Pickleball courts to its members. Memorial Park, also centrally located in East Amherst, has an impressive range of public sports fields and a bike path. The 80-acre Amherst State Park is only 5.8 miles away from East Amherst via NY-78 and locals can spend a whole day there walking along its meandering trails. Nearby Glen Falls has vibrant flower beds and murals that depict wildlife, including a fox wandering through a forest — and of course, waterfalls. Eggertsville Community Park is also appreciated for its playground, basketball court, swings, and a multi-use looped trail locals love to walk, jog and bike on. Both Glen Falls and the community park are less than 7 miles southeast of East Amherst via Transit Road.

Getting breakfast for dinner at Zoé's
The main thoroughfare of East Amherst is Transit Road. It’s lined with shops that offer a range of amenities: Tim Horton’s for grocery hauls, an Urgent Care for medical emergencies, a neighborhood bike shop called Love and Sprockets, Kohls and several local eateries including Zoé Restaurant — known for its Greek menu and all-day breakfast options. Transit Road, also known as New York State Route 78, runs for over 700 miles and passes through Williamsville, which has its own diverse array of shopping options. Eastern Hills Mall in Williamsburg, 6 miles southeast of East Amherst, has a Sephora, JCPenney, several salons and even a mixed martial arts academy.

Using the bike paths or Interstate 990
“The most walkable area of Amherst is Williamsville. Everywhere else, including East Amherst, you depend on your car,” says Realtor Devonte Davis of eXp Realty. Davis is a Buffalo local. Amherst as a whole is also highly bikeable, with bike paths along almost every main street. The nearest airport is Buffalo Niagara International Airport, 8 miles away via Transit Road. Interstate 990 and state routes 5, 62, 78, 263 and 270 also all cross through Amherst proper. There’s a spacious yet well-connected feeling within East Amherst, a true suburb.
Farm fresh items at Bedding Farm Market and Garden Center
Badding Farm Market and Garden Center, located in East Amherst on Transit Road, is open every year from April to December. Locals can purchase seasonal vegetables during those times, and even a fresh-cut tree for Christmas. Another favorite for all of Amherst is the annual Old Homes Day celebration in Williamsville. This four-day festival features rides, games, food and entertainment and all proceeds are donated to local children’s organizations.

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.
