Neighborhood Reviews
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.”

Cute farm town that meets the city. Could use more job opportunities. However, the commute to Buffalo and Amherst is not bad at all. We can get to the city within 45 minutes and to Amherst in 20.
