South Park features locally owned businesses not far from Lake Erie

With numerous locally-owned shops along South Park Avenue, the community offers lots of nifty perks for those looking to avoid car travel. "It's a really integrated, more of a mixed area between young and old, and it's really just starting to get that way, too," says local Broker Jason Jurek of Own NY Real Estate. "It was really the old-timey neighborhood of Buffalo for the longest time."

Locals don't need to travel far to enjoy the outdoors. Cazenovia Park is just a mile trip to the northeast, containing sports fields and picturesque views of Cazenovia Creek. The park also hosts the weekly South Buffalo Farmers Market, which operates every Sunday from June to September.

Local golfers can book a tee time at South Park Golf Course, which neighbors the gardens, or at Cazenovia Park Golf Course a mile to the northeast.

Shopping can be found at McKinley Mall, which is stationed 5 miles south and contains a large assortment of boutiques and retail shops.

Mineo's South Pizzeria is another neighborhood favorite thanks to its specialty pies and subs. South Park also contains several Irish pubs, including Talty's Tavern, Molly Maguires and Potter's Field Restaurant & Pub. "There's a bar on every corner," Jurek says. "Doc Sullivan's is the best one. It's a really cool place and has some of the best wings in Buffalo, too." For groceries, South Park residents frequently stop by Save A Lot at Abbott Road Plaza for daily essentials. Locals can also travel 2 miles east and pick up fresh fruits and veggies from Wegmans — a staple among Buffalonians.
