I live in West Seneca, and the new Walmart is going to be built right in my back yard.
Our current back yard faces the old abandoned Ames plaza building. They are demolishing that building, and putting up a Walmart Super Center.
Right now, everything around the abandoned property is gated off, and it is totally quiet there…
I’m not sure what I should think about this. It is a commercial property, so it was only a matter of time before someone developed on it. I just wasn’t expecting a super walmart.
I’m sure they will put up a high fence along their boarder, but I really worry about the noise level, trucks idleing, and all the bullshit that goes with it.
Does anyone know if there will be any effect on property values?
It will be really nice to not have to go to the ghetto walmart on Walden anymore, but at what price…
It’s a 24/736X store so there will never be a time when it’s quiet over there, other than a few hours on Christmas day. All the loading docks will be facing your house so expect to listen to trucks making their just in time deliveries constantly. I can’t see this helping property values at all. Yes, it was always commercial property but before it was a store that closed so even before it went out of business it would at least be quiet at night. Now it’s a 24/7 operation and most people are not going to want a buy a house right next to it.
the super walmart that was just built in hamburg buts up against a bunch of low-income apartment buildings that i deliver to sometimes. it looks like it woul dbe super annoying to live there. there are tons of flood lights on the back of the store, and CONSTANTLY trucks backing up, loading/unloading shit ect.
i wish you the best of luck man. if you want to see what behind a super walmart is like just go drive through the lake heights apt buildings in hamburg. ugh i hate that place
Lake heights is a shithole so I really don’t feel too bad.
If I remember right, when they built the Wal Mart they were supposed to leave the border of mature trees between the store and the apartment complex, and oops! They all got cut down. Wal Mart basically says “fuck you” to everyone.
supercenters that push ~1.5M a week only get about 7-8 trucks per day… Usually they only get that around holidays.
and the trucks are not allowed to idle.
not allowed to, doesn’t mean that they don’t.
Noise wise, I don’t think it would be too bad.
I’d be more worried about the extra traffic and shit.
Hey, if it’s bad… just say that truck drivers and associates are often out back screaming and swearing and it offends you and your young childen (don’t care if you have any)… and want compensation.
they’ll toss you a gift card to get rid of you.
keep coming up with stupid shit, and profit.
Isnt that basically south buffalo? I thought they intended to build a walmart where the old houghton college campus is/was, or was it subsidized housing that was gong there?
