Its a great neighborhood, quiet and safe. Great for raising a family and close to doctor's offices and hospitals. Real estate is expensive, definitely a place own a home rather than rent. Personally I would like better public transportation in the area, but otherwise it's a nice place to be.

1. Williamsville - Population 5,411
Overall Niche Grade: A+ - Rating 4.58 out of 5

I loved growing up here. This is a very safe environment, and it has a great school district that I am more than fortunate to attend currently. However, there are not many activities to occupy the time of the people that live here.
