Residents can walk out their front door onto sidewalks throughout the community. Lawns are manicured, and residents plant trees and other shrubbery that add to the curb appeal of their homes.

The median listing price for a home in Green Acres is $199,900. “It is an incredibly stable area for home prices,” says Trifilo. “Over my 30 years of experience, it’s very rare that I see the values of homes in this area drop in price.”

Rock Burger is known for their gourmet stuffed burgers.

The Rock Tots, their version of tater tots, can be plain or seasoned with spicy ranch or Cajun. La Hacienda Brighton has been part of the community since 1977. They are mostly known for their pepperoni pizza, but locals can order wings, subs, wraps and even tacos and quesadillas. Residents can head to Trader Joe’s on Niagara Falls Boulevard for groceries.
Ellicott Creek Park is a 165-acre park that offers residents several recreational activities. Residents can enjoy the 18-hole disc golf course, rollerblade or bicycle along the park’s paved trails. When residents travel over the pedestrian bridge, they can let their dogs have a bit of playtime at Ellicott Island Bark Park. Locals will enjoy picnics and sports like tennis and soccer when it is warm out. In the winter, locals can come out for sledding, cross-country skiing, and snowshoeing. Whether looking out at the willow trees and silver maples covering the park or spotting a hawk fly above, Ellicott Creek Park is also a place where they can enjoy nature.
