Maryvale
Walking amongst the colorful, varied homes of Maryvale
Comprised almost entirely of residential streets, Maryvale is a hop-skip away from the Buffalo action, and the connectivity of all the subdivisions makes it a highly walkable area. The most common architectural styles are painted Cape Cods and Tudor-inspired cottages, often built in the mid-20th century, sporting decorated front yards and trees shading the rooftops. Now and again, multi-level homes stagger the horizon of the street line, with Colonial Revivals making an appearance. “Post-COVID prices have gone up, but you still get a safer area at a relatively affordable price compared to the city,” says Davis. “Smaller three-bedroom homes, you’re looking at around $190,000, but true two-story, larger homes are going to be around $225,000.”

Lunch at 33 Speakeasy and visiting Walden Galleria
There are a few big-name essentials in the area, such as the FedEx Ship Center and Dollar General, but Maryvale is mostly a neighborhood where businesses are run by its residents. Most restaurants are locally owned, and residents can easily walk a couple blocks to grab a pizza from Gandy’s. “If you want bar food and a good strong drink, 33 Speakeasy is a great place to go and just hang out,” Davis recommends. For shopping, Maryvale is only a few minutes from the Walden Galleria, an expansive shopping mall with numerous retail shops, restaurants and a connected movie theater.

Finding annual events in downtown Buffalo
As Maryvale is only a 15-minute drive from downtown Buffalo, residents can quickly get to any of the weekly and annual events that the city hosts. There’s plenty to explore, from Taste of Buffalo, the largest weekend food festival in the country, to interactive art activities during First Fridays at the Buffalo AKG Art Museum.On the pathway to Maryvale High
Public institutions are served by the Cheektowaga-Maryvale Union Free School District, and students start at Maryvale Primary before heading to Maryvale Intermediate, which receives a B on Niche. It maintains a small student-teacher ratio of 12-1 to focus on more personalized learning. Students move on to Maryvale Middle, which takes home an A-minus from Niche, before finishing primary education at Maryvale High. Graded by a B-plus, Maryvale High is perhaps most well-known for its athletics, with teams from all sports attending championships since the 1970s and as early as 2020.

Heading to Knob Hill Park when the sun is out
The local neighborhood green space of Knob Hill Park is a popular go-to spot for residents when it’s time to get fresh air. It has an expansive playground for the kids, a baseball diamond, and several courts including tennis, basketball and pickleball. Catalyst Fitness is an excellent solution for those who want to work out indoors and find community through gym classes.
/
To and from Maryvale on I-90
Maryvale is bordered by Interstate 90, also known as the New York State Thruway, and Route 33; these are major thoroughfares for getting around the larger Buffalo area. There are several bus stops along Wehrle Drive, run by the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority. Just east of the neighborhood is the Buffalo International Airport.
