Lighting up Tonawanda, NY
Bearing the name of its neighborhood elementary school and inventor of the lightbulb, T Edison School gives the town of Brighton a whole new meaning. This suburb is illuminated by its proximity to Tonawanda Gate Way Harbor, Downtown Buffalo and Boulevard Mall. “It’s a small area compared to Buffalo, which is 5 to 10 minutes away,” says Maureen Flavin, a Realtor with Howard Hanna Brokerage, who has 32 years of experience in Buffalo. “You’re 70 minutes from ski country in Ellicottville, nicknamed The Aspen of the North.”
A bright outlook for T Edison's housing market
A variety of homes line double sidewalks and cul-de-sacs adorned with basketball hoops and hopscotch chalk drawings. Cape Cods and a few four squares stand out with balconies and inviting front porches. “The market in Buffalo is very strong,” Flavin says. “There’s not much competition, and prices are good. You have a good chance at a nice property.” T Edison School homes often provide over 1,500 square feet of space, three to four bedrooms and a price range of $240,000 to $300,000.
