A Buffalo suburb with indoor and outdoor attractions and fast highway access
West Seneca technically falls within the “Southtowns” of Western New York, part of the area’s snowbelt and ski country. Though the nearest place to ski is in Colden, to the south, the average annual snowfall in West Seneca is more than 84 inches, with more than 23 inches typically falling in January. “The town has a lot of snow equipment. For the most part, it’s not a daily concern,” says Mark Komosinski, associate broker at Howard Hanna Real Estate Services. “We can get 12 to 18 inches overnight, and that would generally be cleared out and ready for the morning commute.” West Seneca's suburban atmosphere, massive community parks and indoor recreation complexes - and proximity to Buffalo - make it a popular place to live outside of the hustle and bustle of the city. “West Seneca is a great community with excellent public services, like its library system, youth sports and community education,” Komosinski says. “The town also has its own police force and a volunteer fire service."

Centennial Park's innovative amenities and the new West Seneca Community Center
The West Seneca Public Library is just one part of the $13 million community center that opened in 2018, which also hosts a children’s center, youth center, gymnasium, fitness room and even meeting rooms and town offices. Its modern design and thoughtful layout unite the community in one place. "There’s even a SPoT Coffee in the library. SPoT Coffee is our version of Starbucks,” Kominski says. Next to the center is Centennial Park, also known as Veteran’s Park, which has a splash pad, a large pool and an inclusive playground. The park is also home to the West Seneca Ice Rink. “Hockey is huge in Buffalo, and the ice rink has been a long-standing staple in West Seneca for open skates, tournaments and things like that,” Komosinski says. West Seneca Soccer Complex and Wimbledon Bowling Lanes help round out local recreation, though folks can always head south to the ski slopes in Ellicottville and Colden.

Slightly more affordable housing in a quiet suburban atmosphere
Housing options in West Seneca are vast and varied depending on size and price. “It’s a very diverse suburb,” Komosinski says. “You can find some pretty high-end homes but also very reasonably priced homes. There are newer-developed neighborhoods and older homes as well.” The median single-family home price in West Seneca is around $275,000, which is lower than in nearby Orchard Park and Aurora, and the area's amenities make everyday living simple. "Garbage collection is run by the town, and literally anything you put out on the curb – you could put the entire contents of your home out there – will be gone by the next morning,” Komosinski says. There are several fixer-uppers for less than $100,000, though most homes cost between $200,000 and $400,000. These modest-sized ranch-style and Cape Cod homes were often built between the 1920s and 1970s. Newer homes on wide lots with large floorplans, two-car garages and modern Craftsman aesthetics can cost between $450,000 and $750,000. A small selection of attached townhouses, apartment-style condos and a few duplexes can cost between $150,000 and $400,000.
