Quiet, outdoorsy community with proximity to the Erie Canal
South Lockport has the lock on outdoor fun. Located about a mile south of the city of Lockport, this quiet hamlet, in the town of Lockport, is home to a stretch of the Empire State Trail and close to the Erie Canal. In addition to the wealth of natural amenities, residents relish the slower-paced suburban lifestyle. “South Lockport has a suburban vibe and that’s the draw. The people who move here want the larger lots. They like having spacious grounds,” says David Van Schoonhoven, a licensed associate real estate broker with Howard Hanna and longtime area resident. “Plus, the cost of living is a little bit less because taxes are lower than in the city of Lockport.”
From Colonial Revivals to split-levels and Craftsman homes
Those looking to move to South Lockport will primarily find homes built anywhere from the 1950s to the modern day. They come in a range of styles, including Craftsman, split-levels and Colonial Revivals. Properties commonly rest along sidewalk-free streets with spacious quarter-acre lots adorned by mature elm and maple trees that are common to the area.
A cozy three-bedroom, one-bath could sell for around $200,000, while a more sizeable four-bedroom, 2-bath may cost around $300,000. “Things are selling relatively quickly here. On average, homes sell within a few days and they’re still selling for over asking price,” says Van Schoonhoven. “The main factor driving it is low inventory and for people who want a little more land, living in the town is better than living in the city.”

We recently got a Super Walmart her in Lockport, but for groceries I would recommend Tops and Aldi. As for other types of shops and stores, I can get anything I actually need right here I believe.

The winters here can get very very cold, but the summers are alright. I used to live in Florida so the summers here are cooler and less humid by comparison.
