A neighborhood built around healthcare
The city of Buffalo is known for its rich history in the railroad and steel industries, but the Grider neighborhood is defined by a different industry. At the heart of Grider is Erie County Medical Center, or ECMC, which has been in the neighborhood since it first opened as Buffalo City Hospital in the early 20th century. Today, the medical campus remains one of the largest facilities in Western New York and employs over 3,000 people. “The biggest difference between Grider and other neighborhoods is the hospital is right there and brings a lot of high-paying, good-quality jobs, since they employ locally,” says Ayat Nieves, a licensed real estate salesperson with Keller Williams Realty. Residents of Grider not only benefit from local jobs and top-tier medical care in their own backyard but also enjoy accessibly priced homes, community parks and ample public transportation.
Near downtown Buffalo, Grider is celebrated for its cultural richness and community engagement.
The neighborhood of Grider offers a rich history and artful decorations throughout town.

Early 20th-Century homes with a distinct style
Grider is made up of a mix of doubles and singles built between 1900 and 1920. These homes are what locals call “Old Style,” and take inspiration from Cape Cod architecture with features like pitched roofs, dormer windows and covered porches. Houses are built close together but still have enough space between them for most residents to have their own front and back yards, as well as a narrow driveway and detached garage. Most properties in the neighborhood sell for between $100,000 and $200,000, but several homes sell for under $100,000.
Diverse housing styles in Grider cater to different tastes.

Delavan Grider Community Center is the area's heart
The Grider area has several small parks, such as Glenny Park off Fillmore Avenue, which has several softball diamonds, and Glenwood/New Box Park on Box Avenue, which offers a playground and basketball court. At the center of the neighborhood, Delavan Grider Community Center on Delavan Avenue offers recreation and quiet meeting spaces, as well as an after-school program, senior programs, free counseling and community events. “The community center has so many community events and workshops there like summer youth programs, a food pantry, and different activities. I’ve actually hosted activities there for first-time home buyers on how to buy a home, how to go about home repair, things like that,” Ayat Nieves says.

The local farmer's market in Grider brings residents of the community together.
Gathering at the Devalan-Grider Farmers Market

The center holds bigger events, too, like the Fall Funk Fest, which features live music, dancing and food. The cost of tickets raises funds for the center to keep playing such an active role in the community.
