"Great place to bring the kids."

Losson rd. has nothing more than houses along it, other than the losson road park. The park is one of the most beautiful places to visit in Depew. There are bike paths and playgrounds, there are also gazeboes that you can rent out and throw summer parties at. You can catch a little league baseball game during the summer considering there is more than one baseball diamonds. I really enjoy taking the walking paths and watching the animals cross the stream. It really is a nice place to take the kids and enjoy an afternoon without technology.

"Quiet with friendly neighbors."

This is the road that I stay on when I am visiting my aunt down in Florida. Not only is it beautiful but they are slowly yet surely developing more and more homes along it and off of it. You are less than a 5 minute walk to the coast. I think that it is one of the most wonderful places to visit considering you take a vacation to relax, and what could be more relaxing than sitting in a backyard full of palm trees and listening to tree frogs sing at night. It is like being in your very own piece of paradise.

"Off the beaten path."

When I was growing up this was the first place that I ever lived. I remember playing kickball across the street and riding my bike down it. Halloween was the best because the street is so long, my Mom made my sister and i trek up and down that street so we hit every house when we were little. My elementary school is literally right around the corner, and the church is across from the fire hall. It is an ideal place to raise your family because there is little to no traffic flow. It was always a safe environment for me and my sister so I assume it would be just as safe for another family.

"Quiet, pleasant, and off the main roads."

I have been going to this road since I was a kid. My aunt has lived along this road for almost 20 years now. There isn't much to do along the road so it keeps the traffic flow mainly on Transit Rd. Driving towards the town of Lancaster there is an elementary school with a huge playground that is open to the public. I would positively consider raising my family along this road because of the features on it.

"An easier way to get to your destination."

The main attraction on Abbott Rd. just may be the Ralph Wilson Stadium which is the Buffalo Bill's home base. There are a few fast food stops along this road as well. Erie Community College south campus is located almost parallel to the stadium. It can be used as a way to surpass the mall traffic and to get to the town of Lackawanna.

"Lots to do!"

There is something for everyone along this road. It houses one of the suburbs most popular places, the McKinley Mall within it. There is also a smaller strip mall across the street from the main mall. This road is always busy because many tourists come to it because of the mall attraction. Further down the road going towards the village of Hamburg is more of a quiet part of it. There are houses that are more quaint and cozy rather than big and roomy. There isn't much traffic flow towards the houses along this road either, so it is a safer place to raise a family or retire to.

"A place to raise a family."

If you are raising a family I would recommend this road hands down. There isn't a very heavy traffic flow considering it is a main road in Hamburg. There is a high school called Frontier on this road and there are also a few gas stations. A lot of people tend to shorten their drive by using this road but with the low speed limit it does not really help in that aspect. It can take you to route 5 or route 20 which will lead to retailers and restaurants.

"I wouldn't take this road in the morning."

The overall value of this street is large because there are so many businesses along it, but there is always a traffic flow as well. I would not live on it if i was raising a child considering how busy it is. There is almost everything along it, from veterinarian clinics to dentists. It's a very resourceful road because of all the different places it has along it. There are banks, restaurants, and a strip mall that you can reach off of this road. It leads from West Seneca to the town circle in East Aurora.

"This street is full of traffic."

There is not many places to see along Borden Rd. but this road can take you into the town of Lancaster and beyond. There are a few gas stations along the sides, and a few stores here and there. There is a creek along here, and in the summertime you will more than likely find people fishing. There are also many homes along this road and it is a shortcut to get to a few different places in West Seneca to Lancaster. There is a church along this road as well.

"Not a place to establish a home."

This road does not have many houses left on it. Over the years it has developed into a busy, and high traffic zone. It has car dealerships and a shopping mall along with 4 or 5 different fast coffee shops to stop in the morning to get your morning java before going to work. There are also about 5 or 6 fast food places to go to as well. You can even stop along here and have a tattoo done and then walk next door and have a professional portrait taken. This is a very essential street throughout West Seneca, and it also extends into other towns.

"From point A to point B."

There isn't much to really do along Indian Church Rd. It will take you to South Buffalo or to Union Rd. in West Seneca. There are many apartment buildings and there is only on restaurant along it. There are many streets that are connected to this road, and is the way you take on your drive home from work or from where ever else you may have been. There are only a few houses and I would not recommend living along it if you have a family considering that there is very heavy traffic flowing throughout it constantly. There is however a park along it that has a nice bike path.

"Busy town, busy road."

Everything is on this road from doctor's offices to gas stations, this street has got it all. There are an abundance of buildings being built at the moment on this road and construction work to widen the road further down it. There is currently a super wal-mart being built which will more than likely increase traffic flow throughout it. There is already a heavy traffic flow because of the grocery, clothing, and specialty stores, and also because it is one of the most widely used roads throughtout West Seneca, Depew, Lancaster, and Williamsville.

Harlem Rd. is one of the most widely known streets in Buffalo, NY. It has just about everything along it from, strip malls to restaurants, and medical facilities to movie theaters. There is always something new being built along this road, and that means there is always some place new to discover.

"Great street to see an older way of living."

On one end of Clinton Rd. you can find a way into Elma, NY and on the other end you will be going towards the city of Buffalo. The vibe is different on each end of this road. There is a little place we locals call "keiser town" which is an old polish village. It is lined with old delis that have been there forever, and bars that have been established for years. There are many places to eat along this road, and there is scenery going towards Elma.

"A street for 55 and older."

In the town of West Seneca, NY there are many quiet streets. Mostly older people live throughout this suburb of Buffalo mixed with a few families here and there. On Delray Ave. there is not a big difference in that. But if you are searching for a place that is quiet, has low traffic flow, and calm surroundings than this is the street for you. In the mornings you can walk to the end of the street and take a stroll around the park path, and at night you can find most people sitting on their back decks watching the sunset.

"Quiet and Friendly neighborhood."

Barbados Drive is a quiet little street that is in Cheektowaga, NY. There are many types of people that live on this street from retirees to singles. It is usually busy with people doing yard work in the summer time, and are raking leaves in the autumn. Overall this street's vibe has a calm, serene feeling to it. There is some traffic that comes throughout it yet for the most part is usually clear of cars. You will not find children playing hockey or baseball in the street because there is a park nearby.

"Great street to find what you're looking for."

In Hamburg, NY Camp Rd. is one of the main streets. It has everything from car dealerships to a local McDonalds. It was recently re-paved, so there are no potholes to over come as you drive to your destination. There is usually traffic that you have to deal with along the way, but it's nothing like rush hour, and there is usually a short cut that you can take off of it to get to your destination sooner. You can also access the NYS Thruway from this road, and it will take you to the village of Hamburg where there are many places to shop and visit.

"Content in a Cul-de-sac"

Kings Ct. in Hamburg, NY is one of the best streets to live on. This is a street in which everyone knows everyone. I have had personal experiences on this street because I lived there for almost 10 years of my life. There is almost no traffic that comes through, so it is safe to let your kids run around in the court. There are many children that live throughout this neighborhood, and all of the parents know each other. In the summer time you can find the neighborhood children playing a game of kick ball in the court, and in the winter time you can find a huge mound of snow after a snow storm has struck and the plow comes by. It is a really enjoyable place to live.

"If you like the nightlife."

If you enjoy going out to clubs and bars you would enjoy Elmwood Ave. It is the street that everyone in Buffalo, NY knows about. From it's busy atmosphere to it's coffee houses, Elmwood has something for just about everyone. There are many places to eat along this street and there are "cool-down" cafes to sit and have and intimate drink and enjoy some music. The clubs along Elmwood are always busy on the weekends and there is a club for just about every type of person.

"Quiet street in the suburbs."

Brian Lane is the street that I live on. Over the years of living on this street I have become friends with a few of my neighbors. My Grandmother had lived on this street for 20 years or more, and so my family knows most of the neighbors. It's quiet and serene in the backyards or while sitting in your garage on a summer's eve. When you're going through a winter storm the neighbors are always friendly enough to help each other out. This street has mostly retirees living on it, other than a few families, but there is always someone walking their dog, or riding their bike down it.
