Some houses have come up for sale I am interested in but the proximity to the Mill Filmore H has me concerned..ambulances 24/7??? Visitors, nurses,worker bees fight[i]ng for street parking...seems to have a lot of traffic around there.
I love the idea of living there, but have a problem with road noise - I hate hearing traffic inside my home....is this an issue in this neighborhood? I would think any house along Elmwood would be noisy unless they really insulated the place...they say you don't hear it after awhile but at night does it get noisier along this corridor or less? I imagine the weekends are a zoo...
Okay so here's the question I really want to ask....
Is there a quiet "oasis" somewhere in the city..a street or area that is outside the hustle and bustle?
Let's say Henry David Thoreau is house hunting in Buffalo today- where would he pick? lol
Delevan, Delaware, Lafayette are pretty busy streets. However, Chapin (if I could only afford a house on this street ) is very quiet. Lancaster and St. James, both being one-way streets are pretty good and actually quite pretty as far as neighborhoods go. I don't know about Linwood and Oxford or Auburn and Cleveland, I'm seldom through there.
It's actually quite surprising how just one or two blocks away from a major thoroughfare that streets can become so quiet. I'm sleeping with the windows open this summer and I hardly hear the traffic on Richmond which is just two blocks away, or that of Forest (again two blocks away). . . I can hear the college kids , but not the traffic.

yes, that makes a huge difference in the "noise"......... chapin - ahhhhh, nice.

when you say I hear the college kids...is it music, or activity? by the way, is the place you are renting central air? or did many of the houses you looked at still working off the old mechanicals? \thanks..glad you like your place...

The college kids keep odd hours. It's not unusual to have loud conversations at 2am (it really carries on my street for some reason). Or it might be that the young(er) crowd just has this tendency to talk louder. And weekend parties/gatherings happen quite a bit. But it's not so bad really. I figure it's the price one pays to actually have a neighborhood and people one recognizes and can talk with when walking through the streets.
I'm renting now, so I live in a house that has been split into smaller units. So no central air. Many of the apartments we looked at had boilers that were redone but I guess for billing purposes are kept on separate feeds.

Guess Thoreau would have a hard time...he'd have to ptich a tent by the lake in the park...lol
Thanks..I am looking in smaller towns for the same kind of vibe...there are some hidden mews in BFO I believe that might work too...
