Niagara County Open Houses during HomecomingPosted by: Colleen Kulikowski in Real EstateA lot more people than you think are relocating to Buffalo and Niagara Falls, and for many varied reasons. Western New York takes a lot of jokes about the snow and a lot of negative press with it being one of the fastest dying cities. Yes people do leave Western New York, but people leave for many reasons. Remember negative press sells newspapers and magazines. So it is really wonderful to see an incredible article this week in the New York Magazine, entitled Where the Urban Dream Life is Going Cheap by Adam Sternbergh. Adam asks a very interesting question What could possibly make someone want to leave New York and move to Buffalo? Read More: Buffalo NY and the “Who knew” effect… Talk to anyone who’s lived in the Western New York Region for any length of time, and you’ll likely hear some variation of the same response — “I wouldn’t live anywhere else but Western New York!” Today many of those that have moved away are looking to return back to Western New York. There is a four day gathering to Bring Back the Heard during the Buffalo Homecoming celebration. Relocation can be one of the most stressful and exciting times in one’s life! Making the decision to relocate to Western New York is just the first step. You will now have to decide where in Western New York you want to call home. Come to our Real Estate Expo on Saturday, June 27, 2009 between 10am and 12pm to discover the many communities that make Western New York a special place. Perhaps even find a new home while you are here!
Buffalo Niagara Association of Realtors will be hosting open houses on Saturday and Sunday between 1:00pm and 3:00pm. Selection of Niagara County Open Houses:

Growing up in Niagara County means that you have special memories of the Aquarium of Niagara. The magic of coming there on school field trips is a common memory. So it is fitting that we cap off four days of fun at this long standing Niagara Falls institution. Everybody in WNY loves having Brunch, and Niagara Homecoming is inviting you to join us at the Aquarium for a new twist on an old favorite. The Aquarium features a bevy of aquatic animals including: California Sea Lions, Peruvian Penguins and Harbour Seals. You’ll delight in the various live shows conducted throughout the day. Why not take in the shark or tidal pool feedings? Your day at the aquarium will be sure to leave you with a smile that will last for days to come. Join us after the Arise & Shine event and before you head to the festivities at Positively Main Street. The Brunch will showcase and benefit one of the region’s oldest and most respected attractions. Enjoy the exhibits before or after your delicious meal that is catered by Niagara Falls’ own Alps Catering, the menu will feature the usual breakfast favorites along with an assortment of foods indigenous to Western New York including the Alps succulent Beef on Weck. Proceeds benefit the Aquarium of Niagara. 10:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. – Aquarium Please contact us at niagararises@yahoo.com |
