Rural and suburban living near Jamestown
Long before settlers made their way up the Allegheny River, the Seneca, one of the largest Native American nations in present-day New York State, called this land home. Today, the area is called Kiantone, and isa small, rural town in Chautauqua County known for its flat farmland, dense forests and quiet country roads. The name Kiantone stems from the Seneca word kyenthone, which means "a level place for growing corn." The northern section of town hugs the outskirts of Jamestown, offering residents a blend of rural and suburban living with access to nearby amenities. In contrast, the rest of town offers a slow-paced lifestyle along the New York State and Pennsylvania border.
Traditional colonial houses are often the anchor of a farm in Kiantone.
The relatively quiet roads of Kiantone are home to many houses nestled among the trees.

At Frewsburg's Town Park, children can run around the playground, build castles in the sandbox or play in the adjacent creek. Other amenities include a basketball court and baseball fields for Little League players.
Four miles away, in the southeast corner of town, the Audubon Community Nature Center features 570 acres of protected wetlands. Forested landscapes give way to 5 miles of hiking trails, picnic areas, a natural play area and an aviary. The center also features interactive educational exhibits and nature-centric year-round camps for kids. Down the road, the Chautauqua County Jellystone Park is a seasonal resort with RV campgrounds and cabin rentals. "We get a lot of tourists from Buffalo, but many locals also frequent the campgrounds for a getaway close to home," says Louis Dispenza, a local Realtor with Midtown Realty, who has been in the industry for almost 20 years.
Kiantone's location near the Allegheny foothills is another draw, with miles of hiking, biking and horseback riding trails. The nearby South Valley State Forest features 4,227 acres of rugged terrain and opportunities for hunting, trapping and fishing. Popular winter activities include snowshoeing and snowmobiling. The park also borders the Allegheny Reservoir, also known as Kinzua Lake, to the east.
With Lake Erie's shore about 30 miles away, Chautauqua Lake around 10 miles away, and the nearby Allegheny Reservoir nearby, residents are surrounded by lakefront retreats. "Even if you live in a rural community, it's still common to own a boat," Dispenza says.
Carroll Town Park is also known as Frewsburg Town Park or Willis Hale Memorial Town Park.

Custom builds, colonials and ranch-style homes
Kiantone's landscape consists primarily of rural country roads that wind past swaths of farmland and woods, where properties range from historic 19th-century homes to modern 21st-century designs.

Equidistant to Jamestown and Frewsburg
The Chautauqua Area Regional Transit System provides public transportation around the county. Due in part to the town’s rural nature, the nearest bus stop for Kiantone residents is about 5 miles away at Frewsburg Town Hall, so most residents rely on their own vehicles for transportation. U.S. Route 62 leads north to Frewsburg and south to Warren, Pennsylvania. Jamestown is about 6 miles north and is home to the nearest hospital, UPMC Chautauqua. Erie International Airport is about 67 miles west via Interstate 86, and Buffalo Niagara International Airport is approximately 85 miles north via New York State Route 60 and I-90.
