Perrysburg offers nature, quiet streets and nearby amenities
With its rural surroundings and sprawling forestland, Perrysburg offers small-town living at the fringe of western New York. It’s home to around 1,500 residents, a few restaurants, two churches and quiet residential streets that extend out into the countryside. It’s about 4 miles from the slightly larger town of Gowanda, and 35 miles south of Buffalo, the nearest major city. “A lot of people move out here for the peace and quiet,” says Nathan Steiger, owner of Steiger Realty, a longtime area resident. “It’s got a country, small-town feel, and there are outdoor activities all around, but you’re not far from shops and eateries in Gowanda.”
Perrysburg residents often travel four miles to Gowanda for shopping, dining, or medical appointments.

There's a mix of older homes and cabins with some newer updates
Perrysburg offers homes dating back to the early and mid-20th century. Brick cottages, ranch-style homes, rustic cabins and traditional homes are all found here. “It’s a mix here. You’ve got mostly older homes, but there are some newer homes and updated homes as well,” Steiger says. Homes around the town center are on smaller lots, with neighbors close together, while homes farther out are on large, sprawling lots with plenty of privacy. Some have been well maintained by their owners, but some homes may need full renovation. Prices range from around $100,000 to $450,000, although some fixer-uppers have sold for less.
