Buffalo – the City of Good Neighbors – is a big city with a rapidly growing economy, vital academic health sciences center, outstanding public schools, and modest cost of living. Buffalo-Niagara, a region of 1.2 million people, is home to world-class art galleries and museums, a comprehensive city-wide system of parks and green space designed by renowned landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted, a vibrant theater and music community, an abundance of restaurants for every palette, and major and minor league sports teams. Buffalo is home to iconic historical landmarks, diverse attractions, and hosts many annual cultural events.
