Bellevue is a wonderful suburban neighborhood in New York featuring well maintained streets.
At the heart of Buffalo
Bellevue was settled in the early 1800s by abolitionists who participated in the Underground Railroad. The area began taking off in the 1880s when wealthy business professionals created a trolley line, a now long-gone park, and a hotel that still stands. Bellevue has become a quiet town at the heart of Buffalo's suburbs that's nearly half park and nature preserve. "We're the closest neighborhood to our biggest mall and centrally located to the downtown area. I always say you're 10 to 15 minutes from everything here," says Realtor Shawn Smith. Smith grew up in Bellevue and now sells homes in the area through Nichol City Realty.

Tidy suburbs surrounded by trees
Families in Bellevue participate in its history simply by tending to their lawns. "Cheektowaga means the land of the crabapples, and most people have at least one in their yard," Smith says. Home styles vary, though the area maintains a suburban identity overall. There are mobile homes on Carefree Lane, Colonials with sidewalks on Elmleaf Drive and modest to split-level ranch-style properties on Gabrielle Drive. Property prices range from $200,000 to $400,000. Anything higher is a rarity; fixer-uppers' entry points can be as low as $80,000. The most expensive residence on the market is a four-bedroom Tudor-style house on 2 acres, costing around $900,000. According to Smith, prices in Bellevue are middle-of-the-road for Cheektowaga. Homes are also off the market in roughly 19 days, faster than the national average of 38.
Schools with character
The Cheektowaga Central School District serves Bellevue students and there are only three schools in the district: Union East Elementary School, Cheektowaga Middle School and Cheektowaga High School. The elementary school is within 3 miles of the neighborhood's core, and the middle and high are centrally located. Both the elementary and middle earn a C plus rating from Niche, while the high school scores a B plus. The high school integrates a character trait of the month into its curriculum to instill personality traits like leadership, optimism, kindness and more.
Small town shops and eateries
The most convenient restaurants in Bellevue are along Union Road and Como Park Boulevard. On the boulevard, locals can fulfill their pizza and pasta cravings at Bobby J's Italian American Grille or grab a bite and a drink with friends at the original Bellevue Hotel. When they're craving pierogies or classic Americana, Polish Villa and Rock Burger are on Union Road, with various shops spaced along its street, including a nail salon. The grocery store Tops Market is 3 miles away from Bellevue on Transit Road. And Walden Galleria — the largest shopping center in Buffalo with over 200 retail stores, a cinema, an escape room and restaurants like Cheesecake Factory — is less than 3 miles away. The Loft, Eddie Bauer and Free People are among its many box chains. Its escape room plays out themes like Escape from Alcatraz and Zombie Apocalypse.
Fowler's features a bright and colorful interior store for their chocolates and candies.
Fowler's has their own delicious custom ice cream flavors to choose from.

Protected forest
Stiglmeier Park, built next to the 292-acre Reinstein Woods Nature Preserve, is at the heart of Bellevue. Mostly wooded, the park contains playgrounds, soccer and baseball fields, picnic tables and 3 miles of trails that pass by Cayuga Creek. The creek passes through not only the park but also the neighborhood. Some people use it for fishing, and a common catch is steelhead. The Reinstein Woods Nature Preserve, with its wetlands and ponds with lotus flowers, also has trails and shelters the largest forest-grown beech tree in New York State.
Reinstein Woods Nature Preserve is located in Bellevue and is known for its many bird species.

Pop up date nights
Seasonal and weekly events happen at Stiglmeier Park, including their pop-up date nights for couples, where lovebirds download a digital date night box that guides them through outdoor activities until sunset. The park is also decorated with lights during the holidays, becoming a festive exhibit.
Everything is close
Due to the area being suburban and spread out, cars are important for everyday amenities in Bellevue. Bus stops lining Union Road connect locals to and from Walden Galleria and Downtown Buffalo. Buffalo Niagara International Airport is 4 miles away via Dick Road for faraway trips.
