Alexander Hamilton-Saint Amelias
Wide driveways and larger lawns
Mid-century homes comprise nearly all of A Hamilton – St. Amelia’s, almost exclusively dating to the 1950s. Ranch homes and Cape Cods are the most popular styles for the neighborhood, though some bungalows and colonials are scattered throughout as well. “There’s a lot more post-war stuff there,” McDermid says. “They’re nice neighborhoods. There’s a bit of variety and good-size yards.” Its streets retain the character of nearby neighborhood layouts, with sidewalks unfolding alongside the roads and wide driveways linking homes and garages to the roadway. However, streets are more winding here, and that aspect allows for some overall larger lawns and properties. Pricing usually ranges from $200,000 to around $350,000 for single-family homes in A Hamilton – St. Amelia’s. The neighborhood’s CAP crime score rates at a 2 out of 10, below the national average of 4.

Student resources at Kenmore East Senior High
Thomas A. Edison Elementary School feeds into Ben Franklin Middle School. Students can attend Edison, which scores a B from Niche, from kindergarten through grade four, and move on to the B-minus-rated Franklin Middle for fifth through seventh grades. High school-level learning takes place at Kenmore East Senior High School, which receives a B, from grades eight through 12. Kenmore East also offers student resources, like a learning center, and sports teams including basketball, hockey, lacrosse and more.

Sports facilities and walking paths
More than half a dozen soccer fields make up Kenney Park, the closest green space to the neighborhood. Elmlawn Memorial Park is directly adjacent to Kenney and has paths winding through the cemetery for remembering loved ones. “Kenney Fields is out that way,” McDermid says. “There’s a lot of green space out there. Over closer to the 290, there’s a very, very good, high-caliber golf course.” Across Interstate 290, residents and non-residents alike can take swings with both golf clubs and baseball bats at the Brighton Park Golf Course. The complex offers memberships and hosts tournaments, and has multiple baseball fields, batting cages and a driving range on its grounds. The Tonawanda Rails to Trails path also snakes past A Hamilton – St. Amelia’s to the west, following a former railroad bed over a span of several miles. Though the Niagara River flows to the west, little recreation besides boating is common; access to the north, in Tonawanda, is available via Grand Island and Niawanda Park.

Mall complexes close by
Dining and shopping options specifically within A Hamilton – St. Amelia’s are limited, but Rizzo’s Casa Di Italia and Peking Quick One Chinese Cuisine have international fare and La Hacienda Brighton serves up fresh pizza. All three of those food stops are in the southern corner of the neighborhood, while 290 Slide Sports Bar & Grill has a number of televisions for patrons to watch games on. The primary commercial area for the neighborhood, though, is Niagara Falls Boulevard. Close to the interchange of Niagara Falls Boulevard and Interstate 290, Boulevard Consumer Square offers a Trader Joe’s, Target, Barnes & Noble and Best Buy for varied shopping needs. Other grocery stops close by include an Aldi and Tops Friendly Markets. The Boulevard, located immediately south across Maple Road, is undergoing redevelopment, but a Macy’s and Dick’s Sporting Goods are still in operation.
/
Local festivals and weekend events
Proximity to Tonawanda, Kenmore and Buffalo keeps residents of A Hamilton – St. Amelia’s close to town events. “There’s parades for Memorial Day,” McDermid says. “There’s lots going on on weekends – music at the parks and baseball, soccer and tons of sports.” Kenmore Days are held every summer to celebrate the area, while the Kenmore Farmers Market near Mang Park hosts events and shoppers. Grand Island is also a destination for the area. “The amusement park has opened up again,” says Susan Lenahan, an associate real estate broker with MJ Peterson Real Estate. “That’s open and going great. People can do something on Grand Island and then go to Niagara Falls.”

Convenience to Interstate 290
Interstate 290, also known as the Youngmann Memorial Highway, makes up the northern edge of A Hamilton – St. Amelia’s. At the neighborhood’s northwestern corner sits an interchange of Eggert Road and the highway. By way of 290 and the 190, motorists are less than 15 miles north of downtown Buffalo. “Being able to jump on the 290 is absolutely helpful,” McDermid says. “There’s also Sheridan Drive, Niagara Falls Boulevard and all kinds of main arteries to get around.” The neighborhood is also only about a mile west of the boulevard, which is serviced by the NFTA Metro bus line.
