Rural Sheldon has a sense of community
Sheldon, 30 miles from Buffalo, is a country community with roadside farmstands and open space. “This is a nice rural farm area,” says Melissa Haenle, a resident and agent with WNY Metro Roberts Realty, who has worked in the industry for 11 years. “We don’t find many properties that go on the market in Sheldon. They're usually over an acre lots, and mostly people moving away from the city out to the country.” While homes may be spread out, the county fire departments bring a sense of community to the town with annual events and activities. “It’s a nice, quiet rural area. Everybody just kind of helps everybody. It’s very neighborly,” says Haenle.
Many people passing through Sheldon can admire its beautiful farms and rolling fields.
There are many cozy single-family homes within Sheldon, NY.

Shopping and dining at farmstands and in Strykersville
DanDee Farm Market, a small stand along Perry Road, sells seasonal produce, meats and flowers along Perry Road. Farmcraft Brewery has a farmers market every Sunday along U.S. Route 20A and often has live music on Fridays and weekends. The brewery serves bar food and craft cocktails and beer. Strykersville’s Main Street has eateries like Flipside, a restaurant that serves American comfort food and has a bowling alley. “Strykersville does have a Dollar General now, so that’s kind of a small grocery store; the next closest grocery would be Arcade or East Aurora,” says Haenle. The Dollar General is also along Main Street, across from the Red Apple Food Marts convenience store. Arcade has Arcade Center Farm for fresh produce and a Save A Lot, while East Aurora has Tops Friendly Markets and the East Aurora Cooperative Market.

Some picnics have a Waterball Competition, where firefighters use hoses to nudge a ball into the opposing team’s goal.
