Old Town Homes for Sale

Old Town in Tonawanda, bordered by River Road and the Niagara River, offers a unique blend of residential and commercial spaces.

Interstate 190 is a mile south, with bus services available on River Road and Vulcan Road, connecting to downtown Buffalo and the State University of New York at Buffalo. Homes in Old Town are primarily duplexes, with some bungalows and New Traditional styles, featuring larger backyards and mature trees. Local businesses include Scime’s Tackle and Variety, Primeval Forest Nursery, The Dalmatia Hotel, and Vulcan Express Mart and Kitchen.

Hoover Middle School, and Kenmore West Senior High School, all with decent ratings.
