I am moving to Buffalo, NY very soon, would like to find an apartment 1 BHK near where Indians stay.
I would be shifting with my wife and son-5 years old.
My place of work would be close to zip14220.
It would be really helpful if you can provide me name of some good neibourhoods to stay in and the avg rate.
14220 is in South Buffalo if I am not mistaken. I would recommend living north of the city, especially since the snow can be brutal south of the city. Someplace in Eggertsville or Snyder might be nice; there are usually some affordable places, all while being in great schools and low crime. The Amherst district is probably the most diverse suburban district, which is in Eggertsville and Snyder. North Buffalo/Kenmore would also work. Both areas probably have average rates around 1K.
McKinney Pkwy. is one of the premier streets in S. Bflo. Rents should be lower in S. Bflo than north depending on the exact area, I would say closer to $700-$800
You are looking for where Indians are. If you are thinking Indians from India, not Native Americans, the neighborhoods are in the northern suburbs, like the town of Amherst. You will also find many Indian stores and restaurants in that area.
One thing about Buffalo that so many new residents do not understand is that we have virtually no big traffic issues. You can commute easily from a northern suburb to South Buffalo (14220) driving on the highways in a reasonably short time.
One thing about the city of Buffalo: your son is 5 and will be in school. The school may not be anywhere near your home, because it is not the neighborhood school, it is assigned. There is busing for most kids.....
A good place to start with searching for a neighborhood where you want to be with people of your ethnic background or faith? Call the local church/religious institution. Even if you won't be going there, they will have info on where members live.
Pretty much look into Amherst due to the college presence in the town(UB and Daemen), as such areas tend to have a higher percentage of Indian residents in relation to the area. This pretty much goes for other areas in Upstate NY as well and mention this due to a lot of posters on here seem to be Indian/South Asian.
I was checking for apartments in Cheektowaga.Can you let me know if this would be a good stay for stay in?
It was also looking to be around 9 miles from my workplace.
Please suggest.
Thanks and Regards

Which part of Cheektowaga? It is generally pretty safe exceot for near the border with Buffalo. It is in a very central location.
