A suburb with a story along the Niagara River
LaSalle is a riverside neighborhood in Niagara Falls, New York that exudes a sense of quiet allure. It is framed by vital interstates to its north and west and by the Niagara River to its south, making it a popular destination for prospective owners who want to enjoy some time on the water without being too far from downtown or Buffalo. While it is part of the city, it is several miles from the falls themselves, helping the area to avoid the brunt of tourist traffic. “There’s downtown Niagara Falls, and then there’s LaSalle,” says Realtor Rebecca Simpson with Hunt Real Estate ERA, who was born and raised in Western New York. “LaSalle is removed from the more touristy areas, but it still has great access to all the shopping, and it’s right on the river, so the views and the boating are wonderful.” The history of LaSalle is another fascinating point in its favor – the neighborhood takes its name from French explorer and fur trader Rene-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle, who launched his ill-fated ship Le Griffon from Cayuga Island, the southernmost subdivision in the community.
On average, homes in LaSalle sell in just 27 days, demonstrating the strong demand and vibrant real estate market in the area.
Home prices in LaSalle have experienced a notable 5% increase over the last 12 months, highlighting the area's growing appeal and strong real estate market.

The two major subdivisions of LaSalle
Today, Cayuga Island is a residential suburb where midcentury Colonial Revivals and split-level homes line the streets. Mid-sized lawns and stubby driveways are shaded by tall leafy trees, and sidewalks run along either side of the wide avenues. The 86th Street bridge crosses the narrow branch of the Niagara River and connects the island to the rest of LaSalle, which is much the same – a mix of cottage-style and minimalist ranch-style homes, with two-story split-levels and American Foursquares speckled throughout. Most homes in the neighborhood price between $120,000 and $300,000 depending on the size of the property. Owners make up almost 75 percent of occupants in the area, although multifamily rental properties can be found, with prices reaching above $1 million for entire 10-bedroom units.
The average home value in LaSalle stands at an appealing $175,000, making it an attractive option for potential homeowners and investors alike.
In LaSalle, the typical lot size stands at an impressive 6,000 square feet, offering ample space for your dream home or investment opportunities.

The LaSalle Yacht Club and the Maid of the Mist
A large part of the neighborhood’s appeal lies in its river access. Members of the LaSalle Yacht Club can dock their boats along the Niagara River, and local anglers can cast lines from the banks at Jayne Park. LaSalle Waterfront Park features picnic tables and a pavilion with a view of the river and the North Grand Island Bridge. Hyde Park, just over 3 miles from the neighborhood in Niagara Falls proper, offers a host of recreational amenities, including a golf course, a playground and the Ice Pavilion. Niagara Falls State Park is about 6 miles from the neighborhood. This park experiences heavy tourist traffic throughout the summer months due to the Cave of the Winds and Maid of the Mist tours, although in the winter months, the Niagara Falls Observation Tower is the most popular way to take in the view.
LaSalle Waterfront Park boasts a variety of excellent fishing spots that are perfect for anglers seeking a rewarding experience.

Heading to downtown Niagara or across the Rainbow Bridge
While Niagara Falls is most popular as a tourist destination during the warmer months, there is no shortage of things to see while in town throughout the rest of the year. “Niagara Falls has been revitalizing lately,” Simpson says. “The Airbnb market downtown is growing, which has been great for businesses. It had been struggling for a while, so it’s nice to see it coming back now.” Throughout December, the river changes color and life-sized gingerbread houses pop up along Old Falls Street for the Jingle Falls USA festival. Families can still walk up to the base of the frozen falls before ducking into the warmth of the Ralph C. Wilson Jr. Welcome Center to do family-friendly crafts and enjoy hot cocoa. The Aquarium of Niagara remains open year-round, as do the Botanical Gardens and the Butterfly Conservatory. Residents can test their luck against the house at Seneca Niagara Resort and Casino. Those with passports can drive across the Rainbow Bridge to the Canadian side of the falls, where they can race one another on the three-story Niagara Speedway go-kart track or catch a concert at Fallsview Casino Resort.
Stop by Niagara Falls State Park near LaSalle for beautiful views.
The Aquarium near LaSalle is a great place for a family adventure.
