North End
Brightly designed homes move fast
Houses in North End are mostly ‘30s builds. Eclectic two-story properties with farmhouse, Colonial, Tudor and ranch-style details are common here and facades are bright. The streets are filled with leaf confetti during the crispest months and sidewalks connect neighbors. Due to their relative affordability, homes also move fast. “Everything has slowed down because of the interest rates but homes in North End can sell in less than a week,” Tortora adds. A five-bedroom home with opportunities for updates recently sold for $85,000, a four-bedroom American Foursquare sold for $136,000 and a three-bedroom brick property for $191,500. The median home price in this neighborhood is around $170,000.

Hop on a trolley or take a drive
For everyday amenities, cars are important here. Trolleys and buses also connect residents to the surrounding Niagara region. The nearest airport is Buffalo Niagara International, 30 miles away along I-190.Getting a jumpstart on college at Niagara Falls High
Students of North End are served by the Niagara Falls City School District. They may attend Maple Avenue School for elementary, LaSalle Preparatory School and Niagara Falls High School. The elementary school earns a C-rating from Niche, the preparatory school a C-plus and the high school scores a B rating. The high school offers 12 advanced placement courses taught by board-certified teachers that allow students to study at the college level.

White cheddar grilled cheese at The Griffon Gastropub
Niagara Guys and The Griffon Gastropub are frequented by locals. The pub has a rustic exterior with its hipped roof, wood paneling and barrels at the entranceway. The menu includes a wide variety of American classics — including a fried grilled cheese made with Wisconsin white cheddar cheese curds. Niagara Guys is known for their fresh handmade pizza, including their heart-shaped pizza for special occasions. For retail options, Tortora says locals head to Pine Avenue where there are box chains like Walgreens and Family Dollar, and a few locally-owned shops like Kings & Queens fashion store. Tops Friendly Market, 23 miles away along Interstate 190, is one of the best grocery stores nearby as it’s stocked with a wide range of produce and packaged goods.

Hiking along Niagara Falls at Whirlpool Park
Neighbors on Lewiston Road can see the DeVeaux Woods State Park from their front porch, known for its scenic meadow, trails through old-growth forests, athletic fields and more. One of the state park’s trails leads to Whirlpool Park, which offers a two-tiered hiking opportunity along the Niagara River, taking locals from the base of the gorge to a height from which they can witness the whirlpool. It also has a playground and picnic tables for the kids and cozy gatherings.

Investors can bring new life to Main Street
North End has seen neglect over the years, which has led to a dampening of spirit along Main Street where many storefronts are now boarded. Revitalization initiatives have been proposed and carefully thought through, but they have not been successful due to financial constraints and paused partnerships. Individual investors, like Tortora, see the hope for the area.Playing a beat at Percussion Garden
Main Street connects to Lewiston Road taking residents toward the Lewiston community within a few short miles. Lewiston’s 108-acre ArtPark is just six miles away and has been a cultural institution since the ‘70s. The park's main stage theater has hosted big names like Bon Iver, Chicago and more. Its grounds house numerous art exhibits, including the Murmuration sculpture representing flocks of birds flying through the sky, and the Percussion Garden, providing a playful way to explore sound within a natural landscape. Neighbors can also walk to the Canadian side of Niagara falls and hit all the tourist destinations.

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
