Lancaster is developing more village amenities outside of Buffalo
Established as a town in 1833 by an act of the New York State Legislature, Lancaster is located just 14 miles east of Buffalo and is an outer-ring suburb of the city. The area is home to multiple large parks and a school district rated an A-minus by Niche, and it's starting to see some developments in the downtown village area. “It is a big town with many people, but everyone knows everyone,” says Lisa Myers, a real estate salesperson with Keller Williams Realty – Lancaster, who was raised in the town. “I know I may be a bit partial to it, but it has that hometown feel. They have done a good job of revitalizing the village area over the last three to five years, and more events and things are happening there.”
Winding suburban subdivisions
A suburban town, Lancaster has multiple subdivisions. Homebuyers have their pick of the litter in terms of architectural styles, including ranch-style, Craftsman, farmhouse and Colonial Revival. Property lots are lined closely but feature well-kept yards, driveways and a garage. Prices range from $165,000 to $732,000, but buyers can expect a four-bedroom ranch-style home to sell for almost $300,000, while a five-bedroom Colonial Revival will rise to around $500,000. “The market is stable, and we still see multiple-offer situations,” Myers says. "There is still a bit of an inventory shortage in Lancaster, which is driving up the prices."
Lancaster's residential neighborhoods are expansive and well maintained.
Lancaster homes feature a wide variety of newer homes.

Lancaster High offers 20 dual-enrollment classes that allow students to earn college credit while concurrently accumulating high school credits.
Lancaster Middle School is located in a former High School building.

Scheduling senior shuttles and Broadway Buffalo commutes
While there is no public transportation in Lancaster, the town's senior center does offer senior citizens a shuttle van service. Interested locals must schedule appointments for rides, and while it is free of charge, donations are encouraged. Known as Broadway, U.S. Highway 20 is one of the main thoroughfares in Lancaster and takes commuters into Buffalo. The Boulevard also has an on-ramp to Interstate 90, heading into downtown Buffalo.
Boutiques and restaurants on Central Avenue
Residents have multiple options for grocery shopping, including a couple of Tops Friendly Markets, Wegmans and Aldi. Central Avenue in the village has become a destination for locally owned retail, with small boutiques, including fashion stores like the New York Store, Juls and Jane, or the Gilded Maple home goods store. Lancaster has plenty of places to choose from for a meal out on the town, whether it’s a burger from The Yelling Goat, a slice of pizza from 99 Brick Oven, a sit-down Italian meal at Frank’s Grill, or a sandwich and a beer at Skoobs Village Grill.
Lancaster residents can choose from several grocery stores, including Aldi.
The New York Store is one of the premier clothing stores in Lancaster.

Sprawling paths and country clubs off Cayuga Creek
On the banks of the Cayuga Creek, Como Lake Park is 534 acres. Locals can use the park for multiple types of recreation across all seasons. In the summer, residents can fish the creek, play a round of disc golf, hike or bike along some of the trails, or use one of the playgrounds. In the winter, its trails are the perfect place for cross-country skiers, and its sloping hills provide a place for children of all ages to sled. Walden Pond Park has seven softball fields, a T-ball field, four sand volleyball courts and another multiuse field for youth sports. For an additional cost, residents can join Lancaster Country Club, founded in 1925, which features an 18-hole golf course, a swimming pool complex and social activities.
