Established suburb 14 miles from Buffalo
Located 14 miles northeast of downtown Buffalo, Green Acres North was established during the World War II housing shortage and designed and built by Pearce and Pearce, who are responsible for constructing nearly 4,000 homes in the Buffalo area following the war. It is centrally located in Tonawanda, between Ellicott Creek, Interstate 290 and US-62. “Green Acres North is a solid, stable community,” says Bill Zaehringer, a Realtor with Keller Williams Realty, who has been in the Buffalo market for over 20 years. “It is like 20 minutes from downtown Buffalo, Niagara Falls and the airport, but you also have plenty of great amenities like shops and restaurants in nearby shopping centers.”
Split-levels and ranch-styles on walkable streets
Developed following the end of World War II, the architectural styles reflect that time and are predominately ranches and split levels. Property lots are long and narrow and feature well-kept yards and garages. Properties sit back on the lot and are shaded by scattered trees and separated off the road by a sidewalk that allows residents to get around Green Acres North on foot or bike. Buyers can expect a three-bedroom, one-bathroom split-level to sell for around $250,000, while a larger three-bedroom, two-bathroom ranch will go for slightly above $270,000. “It is still a sellers’ market. While we have seen some price reductions and listings are moving slower, there are still more buyers than sellers at this point,” Zaehringer says.
Green Acres North is rated somewhat bikeable with a score of 37 out of 100.
