Desirable neighborhood that is home to Niagara Falls
Home to Niagara Falls and Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino, South End makes for an idyllic spot to try one’s luck. Residents of this Niagara Falls, New York, neighborhood relish the wealth of entertainment options, home prices well below the national average, and proximity to Buffalo and Canada. Buffalo is 20 miles south via Interstate 190 and Niagara Falls, Ontario, awaits over the Rainbow Bridge on Falls Avenue. “I think Niagara Falls is really having a resurgence,” says Ryan McNab, a licensed real estate salesperson with Howard Hanna and longtime area resident. “A lot of people are moving here because of the affordability. We are seeing a lot of people come here from Canada because of the proximity and because the property values in the Toronto area are incredibly high. If they can live here and work there, or retire here, it works out well for them financially.”
From Colonial Revivals to ranch-style homes
Those looking to move to South End will primarily find homes built from the early-to-mid-1900s. They come in a range of styles, including Colonial Revivals, ranch homes and Dutch Colonials. Properties typically rest along sidewalk-lined streets with compact manicured lawns. “I love the architecture of the old homes here,” McNab says. “The architecture and the four seasons are my favorite things about living here.”
The average list price hovers around $100,000. A cozy three-bedroom could be found for $80,000, while a more spacious five-bedroom sells for $110,000. “The market is still really good here. Obviously, a lot depends on the condition of a home but if the pricing is correct things will sell within a couple of weeks,” McNab says. “We get a lot of calls from people looking for good investment opportunities and from people looking for affordable housing and moving here from elsewhere.”

Love that it is a tourist town, I would like to see them build up the city more. I currently work down at a bar by the Falls and it is filled with all different types of people all summer long. I love coming into work and meeting people from all over the country, world, and city.

I`ll separate this experience in two sides, Park and city. The park is amazing, is a wonder of nature, complemented with amazing human made structures to enjoy, just once in a life experience. But things start getting weird due the ammount of people, majority asian southeasters. have any problem with them, is just their behavior, our car was hitted by them, they just ran away, no police presence, inside the park we were pushed so many times for them trying to get a spot. Besides that there's a lack of restaurants, so we have to wait between 2-3 hours to get our food, hotel was oversell, so we have to look for an Airbnb and they want o charge us 3x times the rate. We just decide cross to canada, so we found a way better accomodation for fraction of the price, and lot of restaurants.

The police department works hard to keep the community safe. I feel like in general crime is more prevalent because crime is given more power than our police. As a law abiding citizen, I would prefer that law enforcement be given more power than criminals. It seems it has swung the other way. How does an average person feel comfort in that?
