Cultural diversity and restored history
On the lower east side of downtown Buffalo, Broadway-Fillmore is more than just the Goo Goo Dolls’ inspiration for the song, Broadway. With humble Polish immigrant beginnings, cultural diversity and government efforts are breathing new life into this established neighborhood. Culture pulses through the streets, meeting at the main artery of The Broadway Market. And restoration projects on the Buffalo Central Terminal promise an exciting, attractive future for residents. “A lot of people have moved into Broadway-Fillmore and, quite frankly, it really improved the area. It made it more cultural, and culture is beautiful,” says Ben Schwed, a Broker at Park Realty of WNY with more than a decade of experience selling homes around Buffalo. Fittingly, this urban town is centered around the two main roads that intersect in the center: Broadway runs east to west, and Fillmore Avenue runs north to south.
Buffalo Central Terminal’s past and future
Broadway-Fillmore is home to the Buffalo Central Terminal – or BCT, a towering Art Deco landmark that once served as the city's central train station. Opened in 1929, the terminal’s heydays saw daily foot traffic of more than 10,000 people. The last train departed in 1979, and BTC was placed on the National Register of Historical Places in 1984. Today, the Central Terminal Restoration Corporation has partnered with the Broadway-Fillmore community and local government to restore the historic building and revitalize the neighborhood, which locals look forward to. "The city hasn't come in to develop anything in quite some time, but now they're working on the BCT, and that's supposed to improve some things," Schwed says. Currently, the Great Lawn of the BCT hosts farmers markets, outdoor concerts, music and art festivals.

1920s colonial homes with good bones
Most homes in Broadway-Fillmore were built between 1900 and 1920 and are colonial with Stick style influences, many featuring wide front porches and full attic space. According to Schwed, these houses cost significantly less than the ones in neighboring towns because they are older and typically don’t have basements. Single-family dwellings ranging from 1,500 to 2,500 square feet, some with spacious, green fenced-in backyards and narrow driveways, generally sell for between $120,000 and $220,000. The housing market in this neighborhood is also teeming with investment properties. Homes with good bones ready for a remodel or transformation into a multifamily property might start around $50,000 and grow upwards of $250,000. “But in the past few years we've seen an uptick in homeownership,” Schwed says. “A lot of people have moved into Broadway-Fillmore and, quite frankly, it really improved the area. It made it more cultural, and culture is beautiful.”
