Masten Park, located between Jefferson Avenue and Fillmore Avenue, is a historic and residential Buffalo neighborhood with a classic park centerpiece and a grid of tree-lined blocks. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Jefferson Avenue and East Ferry Street corridor, where corner stores, barbershops, and small eateries set a steady, street-level rhythm. Brick two-flats and early-20th-century houses define the streetscape, with porches and stoops shaping everyday sidewalk life. Masten Park itself anchors the area with open lawns, courts, and shaded paths. Cultural touchstones nearby include the Buffalo Museum of Science, the Broadway Market, and the Buffalo Central Terminal.
