Dense suburban blocks north of Buffalo
Located just 7 miles north of downtown Buffalo, Wilton Argonne is an entirely residential neighborhood in the Town of Tonawanda. With proximity to major roadways and thoroughfares, the community is a place for commuters. Tonawanda also offers multiple youth recreation leagues and maintains numerous parks and playgrounds throughout the area. “It is a place where everyone knows everyone,” says Adele Cloutier, an associate broker with Danahy Real Estate, who lives in the area and has sold it for more than 20 years. “The neighborhood has old-growth trees, and while the homes are older, they are well maintained and feel stately. People take pride in keeping up their yards, and the town helps with terrific utility services. You can find many people and age ranges in this small neighborhood.”
Tree and sidewalk-lined single-family homes
Tonawanda is known for its tree-lined streets and walkable sidewalks, and Wilton Argonne matches the blueprint. Sat back on well-manicured lawns are a collection of bungalows, Cape Cods, colonial revivals and new traditional shingle-style properties. Most properties have at least a driveway for off-street parking, but most homes have a garage. Prices range from about $125,000 to $385,000, but buyers can expect a five-bedroom bungalow to sell for around $240,000, while a four-bedroom Colonial Revival hits the market at nearly $360,000. “Western New York, but more specifically the Town of Tonawanda, still lacks inventory, and because of that, the market is moving extremely fast, in most cases,” Cloutier says.
The average household income in Wilton Argonne is $93,000.
Average year built for homes in Wilton Argonne is 1946.

Commuter highways into Buffalo and limited bus service
“If you could put a pin on a place to live and have to commute, Wilton Argonne is probably the place,” Cloutier says. Residents can head to work in downtown Buffalo or surrounding suburbs using U.S. Highway 62, which runs from Mexico to Canada and through the heart of town as one of the leading retail drags. Tonawanda is encircled by Interstate 290, an auxiliary highway connecting I-90 to I-190 and leading to downtown Buffalo. Tonawanda is serviced by the NFTA-Metro, Western New York’s Transportation Authority, and has two bus stops along the 25-Delaware line at either Main and Niagara Transit or Mid-City Plaza, ending in downtown Buffalo.
Seasonal farmers markets and concerts
Being centrally located, locals can choose between a pair of nearby weekly farmer’s markets for additional grocery needs. The North Buffalo Farmers Market runs every Thursday at the North Park Community School, while the Kenmore Farmers Market takes place every Sunday from June to October from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Held at Gateway Harbor Park, the Wednesday Night Canal Concert Series is another way for locals to enjoy the surrounding community. The free concert series does not allow outside food or drink but has food and both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages available for purchase.
