About
Forest
Forest, located between Delaware Park and Elmwood Avenue, is a residential and cultural Buffalo neighborhood with leafy parkways and early-20th-century architecture. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around Elmwood Avenue at Forest Avenue, where sidewalk patios, indie boutiques, and coffee counters keep the street scene in motion. Brick apartment houses and restored Victorians line quiet blocks, while Olmsted-designed greenspace shapes daily routines. The Buffalo AKG Art Museum and Burchfield Penney Art Center anchor the area’s arts calendar, with Hoyt Lake adding a calm waterfront loop. Local tables at The Place and gelato at Lake Effect Ice Cream round out the everyday ritual.
