Historic 'Buffalo Doubles' with a bright color palette
Many Genesee Moselle houses were initially built between 1900 and 1930 and were intended for industrial workers and their families. Several of these historic structures are doubles, with two apartment units within one home. Homes are similar in shape, with pitched roofs and dormer windows, but are rarely decorated similarly. Genesee Moselle houses are an array of colors, from sky blue to mint green, and front porches and second-floor balconies are often decorated with flowers and sitting areas. While front yards can be small, properties often have larger, fenced-in backyards.Most homes in the neighborhood are priced in the low $100,000s. These numbers increased by over 20% between 2022 and 2023, mainly due to increasing demand. “Over the course of 4 to 6 years, a large community migrated from New York City and purchased homes, made repairs, and made the homes livable. The area has started going up because hundreds of people started businesses and stores and bought real estate,” says Matthew Reitz, a Sales Agent with BNYP Properties.

Hank Nowak Park is a splash of green space
The Genesee Moselle community is dotted with small city parks like Hank Nowak Park on Sycamore Street and Emerson Park on Goodyear Avenue, which offer green space, walking trails and small playgrounds. Just west of the neighborhood on Best Street is Martin Luther King, Jr. Park, which at 56 acres is one of the largest green spaces in the area. The park has a splash pad, playground and large garden with walking paths and a stone fountain. Buffalo Museum of Science is also on the park grounds.

Extra math and reading time at Harvey Austin School
Families can send their children to P.S. 97 Harvey Austin School, which earns a C-minus from Niche. Harvey Austin covers kindergarten through eighth grade and has an extended learning program where students spend two hours after school day studying math, science and language skills and participating in sports and art clubs. After students leave eighth grade, families can enter a lottery system that will determine what high school their kids will attend. East Community High School, which has a C-plus on Niche, is a nearby general education high school.
Bus routes from NFTA-Metro abound
The neighborhood is served by Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority (NFTA-Metro), which offers bus lines that travel throughout the city. There are multiple bus stops along significant community roads like Broadway. While the bus system is used frequently by some Genesee Moselle locals, other residents opt to drive or use ride-share services. New York State Route 33 runs directly through the area, and the neighborhood is only 3 miles from downtown Buffalo.Halal markets and restaurants populate The Broadway
Aldi on Broadway is one of the only chain grocery stores in Genesee Moselle, so most locals rely on small local markets and corner stores to get their shopping done. The Broadway Market on Broadway, Palli Supermarket on Bailey Avenue and Camellia Meats on Genesee Street all provide everyday groceries. Several nearby halal markets also exist, like Buffalo Fresh Halal on Broadway and Zubaidah Halal Meat & Grocery on Walden Avenue. Broadway serves as a hot spot for local businesses, including clothing, furniture and electronics stores, and multiple restaurants. Local favorites on the street include Yemen Café and Bakery, known for its lamb dishes, and Almandi Restaurant, which serves a simple menu of halal dishes.

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.
