Anchored by one of New York's largest parks

The world-famous Niagara Falls to the west and one of New York’s most beautiful green spaces to the east – this is a snapshot of life for the locals of the Hyde Park neighborhood. Residents come to the area to own accessibly priced homes and work in the area’s rising industries, including power plants partially operated by hydroelectricity. The location of Hyde Park is appealing for anyone looking to avoid the bustle and price point of neighboring Buffalo, without missing out on any excitement. “We’re big enough to have our own football team, but not big enough to have a lot of traffic or that you have to have a killer mortgage,” says Caleb Canazzi, a real estate broker with Blue Eagle Realty Corp who has been selling in the Buffalo area for 5 years.

Hyde Park has budget-friendly historic finds

Hyde Park is full of historic properties that were built between the 1920s and 1950s. Ranch homes and two-story Colonial Revivals are two of the most popular styles in the neighborhood, with many residences sporting columned porches and pitched roofs. Houses are built on neat, well-organized streets bordered by tall maple and oak trees that shade both the sidewalks and main roads. Many properties also have large front and backyards, detached garages and wide personal driveways. Most homes are priced between $100,000 and $200,000, but several historic residences sell for under $100,000. “Affordability is probably the number one reason I hear for people wanting to move here,” Canazzi says. “When you compare it to the rest of the United States, it’s a lot more reasonable, and on top of that, gas and electricity are pretty cheap because you have hydroelectric facilities nearby. It’s quite affordable compared to anywhere else in Western New York.”

Hyde Park is the “jewel of the Falls”

Hyde Park was named “The Jewel of Niagara Falls” by former Niagara Falls Councilman Sam Fruscione and holds the title of the largest city park in New York outside of Manhattan. Residents living next to the park benefit from on-site athletic amenities like a skate park, the Hyde Park Golf Course, Sal Maglie Stadium, Niagara Falls Ice Pavilion and an Olympic-sized swimming pool. The park also hosts one of the largest bocce leagues in New York. Visitors looking to relax can walk through the park’s beloved rose garden, feed ducks and geese at the aptly named Duck Island or catch trout at Hyde Park Lake. Every summer, locals gather for the Hyde Park Summer Bash to spend a day fishing, picnicking and enjoying the park’s many features.
