About Cold

Springs

Cold Springs, located between Delaware Park and the Scajaquada Creek corridor, is a residential and institutional Buffalo neighborhood with leafy park edges and a campus-lined streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Elmwood Avenue and Amherst Street crossroads, where corner cafes, small eateries, and everyday storefronts set a steady, walkable rhythm. Buffalo State University and the Burchfield Penney Art Center act as cultural anchors, with the Albright-Knox Art Gallery campus at nearby Delaware Park extending the arts footprint. Early-20th-century apartment buildings and compact side streets mix with academic architecture along Elmwood. Delaware Park’s paths and Hoyt Lake shape the outdoor routine. The Scajaquada’s bridges and parkways frame the neighborhood’s north-south movement.
