There are some good areas still in the city that some people have pointed out BUT…they won’t be nice forever. At my job (UPS) we pretty much aren’t allowed to leave anything outside (no signature) for fear of it getting stolen at a lot of the areas inside of Buffalo. One thing you haven’t considered is the distance from the thruway. You don’t want to be smack dab in the middle of any city where it takes you 15 minutes just to get to any sort of thruway. IMO, I would look in Amherst (Millersport Hwy area), Tonawanda (Near NFB). Lots of relatively cheap apts/houses, close to the 290, safe area, etc…

Hmm my house was built in 1920 and the neigborhood is still nice. Unless a natural disaster happens I dont think any of the good neighborhoods in Buffalo are changing for the worse. People are moving back into the city these days so the trend is for the better.
My house is about 5 min or less from the 33 depending on how many lights you hit. Its especially easy to get to the thruway in the city by either the 33 or 190.
Dozer posted a great map, just use that if you want to live in the city.
A great thing about living in north buffalo is pretty much every where I shop is right there. At the end of my street is my gym, restaurants, walgreens, pizza, etc. Wegmans, Target, PEPBOYS, Innovative Tuning and any other store you can think of is about a 3 min drive. Its nice to have everything close to where you live, saves so much time.
