Desirable neighborhood that is home to Niagara Falls
Home to Niagara Falls and Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino, South End makes for an idyllic spot to try one’s luck. Residents of this Niagara Falls, New York, neighborhood relish the wealth of entertainment options, home prices well below the national average, and proximity to Buffalo and Canada. Buffalo is 20 miles south via Interstate 190 and Niagara Falls, Ontario, awaits over the Rainbow Bridge on Falls Avenue. “I think Niagara Falls is really having a resurgence,” says Ryan McNab, a licensed real estate salesperson with Howard Hanna and longtime area resident. “A lot of people are moving here because of the affordability. We are seeing a lot of people come here from Canada because of the proximity and because the property values in the Toronto area are incredibly high. If they can live here and work there, or retire here, it works out well for them financially.”
Cave of the Winds in Niagara Falls features a scenic walkway that offers breathtaking views of the falls, enjoyed by both tourists and South End residents.
South End is home to the Seneca Niagara Resort & Casino, a popular destination for entertainment and nightlife just steps from the falls.

From Colonial Revivals to ranch-style homes
Those looking to move to South End will primarily find homes built from the early-to-mid-1900s. They come in a range of styles, including Colonial Revivals, ranch homes and Dutch Colonials. Properties typically rest along sidewalk-lined streets with compact manicured lawns. “I love the architecture of the old homes here,” McNab says. “The architecture and the four seasons are my favorite things about living here.”
The average list price hovers around $100,000. A cozy three-bedroom could be found for $80,000, while a more spacious five-bedroom sells for $110,000. “The market is still really good here. Obviously, a lot depends on the condition of a home but if the pricing is correct things will sell within a couple of weeks,” McNab says. “We get a lot of calls from people looking for good investment opportunities and from people looking for affordable housing and moving here from elsewhere.”

The best part of Niagara Falls are the falls and the Outlets. Unfortunately, the rest of the city, where there are no tourists, is very unsecured.

Niagara falls is an okay place to live. The town is pretty small and is easy to get around. The metro buses do run out of whack and sporadically. They could use better stores and restaurants but it's a decent place to live.

The falls are beautiful, but be careful as the surrounding area is not the safest. With that said, there are some great restaurants, such as Duffs (historic chicken wing restaurant), that offer outstanding food.
