T Edison School
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.

Taking center stage in the Sweet Home Central School District
The Sweet Home Central School District has award-winning music and theater programs alongside high Niche ratings. “There are wonderful schools around T. Edison School, just wonderful,” Flavin says. “Some of the best in Buffalo. Many people move here for the schools.” T. Edison’s youngest students may attend Thomas A. Edison Elementary School, which is at the heart of the neighborhood and extremely walkable, and Ben Franklin Middle School is a short drive away. Both the elementary and middle schools earn a Niche B rating. Kenmore East Senior High School trails shortly behind with a B-minus Niche Score.

Access to multiple parks and the Buffalo Zoo
While there aren’t many parks within T Edison School neighborhood, plenty can be found scattered around nearby communities. Youth sports teams meet at Walter Kenney Field off Brighton Road, and Garnett Playground on Westfield Road features an immersive playspace, concessions stand and baseball field. 5 miles away is Buffalo’s famous Delaware Park, home to The Buffalo Zoo. In the summer, kids keep cool at Clearfield Community Park’s pool and splash pad in Amherst, and less than 2 miles away, year-round indoor ice skating is available through Lincoln Park Arena, which offers beginner classes. When locals don’t want to drive to Niagara Falls, Glen Falls is the perfect substitute 8 miles away, and Amherst State Park is a minute's drive from the falls.

Boulevard Mall is 2 miles away
T Edison School is close to many eateries, bakeries, bistros and pubs. Duff's Famous Wings on Sheridan Drive and Tim Hortons Coffee & Bakery are notable favorites. Bocce Club Pizza and Family Tree, a Greek restaurant serving souvlaki dinners. There's Boulevard Mall 2 miles away on Eggert Road for retail and grocery options. The mall consists of department stores like Macy’s and DICK’s Sporting Goods. Wegmans, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods Market, ALDI and Tops Friendly Markets surround the mall on Niagara Falls Boulevard, as well as Target and Walmart. For local produce, locals drive 4 miles away to North Tonawanda Farmers Market, popular for its berries, veggies and flower selections.

Not far from Tonawanda's Retro Block
On the weekends, Glen Park hosts an art festival celebrating its local artists. Farther West, Tonawanda offers “Retro Block,” which consists of seven retail stores that share vintage-style inventories. For a larger festival, the Annual Italian Heritage Festival is in Kenmore, 3 miles away, and Taste of Buffalo is downtown, 13 miles away via Interstate 190.
Visit the Tonawanda Gate Harbor or Niagara Falls
Locals can take Interstate 290 to Niagara Falls or Tonawanda Gate Harbor, and Buffalo Niagara International Airport is 6 miles away for longer getaways. “You couldn’t live in a friendlier city than Buffalo. Everything is a hop, skip and jump, plus there’s no traffic issues like in other cities,” Flavin says proudly. “Niagara Falls is 20 minutes away. You can literally be in a different country in less than half an hour. You can’t beat that.”

Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
