Just curious, besides a city like Rome, which is the second biggest city in the state in terms of land size, what are some rural settings that you could think of within the city limits of cities within the state?
Buffalo is probably the most solidly urban city I've experienced. Residential areas with a post-WWII feel in the city limits are uncommon. Areas that feel rural-ish are very rare. There's a few streets in South Buffalo that have an exurban feel -- large lots, houses with gravel driveways, streets with no curbs, and in a couple of cases, no sidewalks. Calais Street and High View Terrace come to mind.
The last TRULY undeveloped areas in the City of Buffalo -- land that was never developed from the start -- are:
* South Buffalo -- east of Pritchard Street and Frank Avenue. A 1920s-era subdivision gave the area paper streets and lots. No building ever took place, and the subdivision was vacated.
* Delavan-Bailey -- the last remnant of "Lang's Field", the summer vacation estate of Gerhard Lang, is at the southeast corner of Eggert Drive and Langfield Drive. The bulk of the estate was developed between the 1920s and 1950s, with a large part of it becoming the site of the Kenfield and Langfield projects, and Kensington High School. The remaining vacant land was the site of Lang's summer house and gardens.
