Snyder features friendly neighbors and access to downtown
Snyder is a hamlet of Amherst, one of the most populated towns in New York State. Established in the early 19th century, it’s also one of the oldest suburbs in Buffalo. The area is known for its highly regarded school system and proximity to all major highways. It’s easy to find diverse shopping from home, and locals are just 9 miles from Downtown Buffalo. Snyder is also a friendly place. “Buffalo at large is known as the city of good neighbors and Snyder represents that so well," says Realtor Linda Ellson. Ellson used to live in Snyder and her Hunt Real Estate office is located in town.
Locals relax in unique homes after a day outside
Most residences in Snyder were built in the ‘50s and they're all unique. “You could drive down any street and it’s anything but cookie cutter,” Ellson says. Neighbors are always out and about, too. “You see kids riding bikes up and down the streets here. People are always out enjoying their garden and walking their dogs.” It’s a typical suburban experience and layout here with sidewalks, well-tended yards and tall trees. A four-bedroom split-level traditional recently sold for $200,000, a four-bedroom brick ranch-style house for $300,000 and a three-bedroom Colonial for around $400,000. Homes also tend to sell fast, with one of these properties selling within seven days. Tudors, American Foursquares and bungalows are also common in Snyder.

Supporting local charities during Old Homes Day
Snyder decorates Main Street with lights each holiday season, adding warmth to the area during cold New York Winters, but according to Ellson, they mostly head outward for events.
