As a born-and-raised Buffalonian with deep ties to the Queen City, I’ve been so thrilled to observe the strides that my hometown has made in recent years. In my job as a recruiter, I always enjoy selling candidates on the beauty of Buffalo, a city that I consider to be the underappreciated gem of New York. Buffalo has begun to establish itself on a national level through the city’s recent efforts to revamp and revitalize itself. Whether you’re fresh out of college, raising a young family, or looking to retire, Buffalo is a place that people of all ages can call home.
Here are my top reasons to consider making the move to Buffalo:
Our affordability– Even as housing costs are rising across our region, Buffalo remains one of the most reasonably priced communities in the country. According to a recent study from Realtor.com, the Queen City was ranked as the best city to own a home for millennials. Led by the city’s younger generations, Buffalo is burgeoning back to life. If you’re looking to compare your current cost of living to that in Buffalo, use Be in Buffalo’s Cost of Living Calculator to find out how affordable Buffalo really is.
Our food – Beef on weck sandwiches. Char-broiled hot dogs. Beer battered fish fries. Buffalo-style pizza. Chicken wings. Need I say more?! With a full array of delicious dining options, it’s no wonder that Buffalo is world-renowned for its mouth-watering menus of food. You’d better bring your appetite to the Queen City!
