Community-centered Sloan has proximity to Buffalo and Cheektowaga
Sloan, near Buffalo and Cheektowaga, New York, is a suburban area between two railroad distribution centers. Residents appreciate the proximity to Buffalo and its community spirit. “People are either from the area specifically, born and raised, or it’s the housing costs, they’re a little bit less in Sloan than in neighboring areas,” says Meghan Parsons, a Realtor with WNY Metro Roberts Realty. Parsons has worked in the industry for 14 years and is a third-generation realtor in New York state. Sloan may be a small area, but it has a dedicated community that works with the school district to provide lunches for children under 18 and organizes community events and recreation opportunities for all ages throughout the year.
Despite their similar builds, the exteriors of Sloan bungalows vary wildly from house to house.
