South Cheektowaga is a residential suburb with Polish roots
Welcome to South “Cheektavegas,” a moniker for Cheektowaga, a large suburban town in Erie County 8 miles from Buffalo. Legend says the nickname derives from the town’s rich Polish heritage, a twin city with Lowicz, Poland. South Cheektowaga is primarily residential, away from the hubbub of Galleria Mall and down the street from the Buffalo Niagara International Airport. It is embraced by its green spaces and recreation, “Between youth sports, family-centered events and teen volunteering programs, we have a very diverse community and offer something for everyone,” says Krystle Feind, Executive Director of Youth & Recreational Services.
South Cheektowaga is a residential pocket, close to natural and modern amenities.

Tree-lined streets with ranch-style and split-level homes
Blooming Dogwoods, carved shrubs and towering Pine trees dot the landscape of South Cheektowaga. Homes are on long, linear lots with sidewalks, many with soundproof windows and doors to mask the sounds of airplanes soaring overhead. And basements are prone to flooding due to Buffalo’s abundant wetlands, so many residents opt for sump pumps and dehumidifiers. Prominent styles include ranch-style, split-level and Neo-traditional houses, attached two-car garages, fenced-in backyards and driveways. Neighborhoods exude a uniform ambiance, with homes painted in muted greys, dark blues and soft tans. Most residences built in the ’60s and ’70s range from $185,000 for a three-bedroom with 850 square feet to $450,000 for homes constructed in 2022.

Summer camps and community activities at neighborhood parks
Several neighborhood parks are within walking distance of homes. Dartwood Park has large grassy fields with two playgrounds, sports courts and a community center. The center hosts summer camps, preschool and yoga classes for some Zen. On Alexander Avenue, the Cheektowaga Youth and Recreation overlooks community activities, organizing swim and skating lessons, volunteer opportunities and craft nights at the library, the town ice rink and the swimming pool. “Our youth hockey program, the Cheektowaga Warriors, is very popular. We summer camp programs, offer a playground rotation in the summer and run all kinds of holiday events,” says Feind. The Reinstein Woods Nature Preserve is characterized by dense Beech-Maple Forest and low-lying wetlands, creating an escape for hiking or skiing.
