160 Park St

Allen sits just north of downtown Buffalo, with leafy residential streets and a mix of historic homes, apartment buildings and converted properties. The neighborhood’s character is closely tied to Allen Street and the nearby Elmwood Village, where cafés, restaurants, independent shops and galleries create a lively local scene. The historic Allentown district and the Richardson Olmsted Campus are notable nearby landmarks, while Delaware Park offers broad lawns, paths and outdoor recreation a short trip away. Buffalo’s four-season climate brings snowy winters and warm summers, making indoor cafés and cultural venues useful year-round complements to time outdoors. Residents can get around on foot or by bicycle on many local trips, and NFTA buses connect the area with downtown and other parts of the city. The Allen neighborhood’s median rent is $1,500 per month, with a typical range of $800 to $3,100.
