The Delaware District runs along and adjacent to Delaware Avenue, beginning just north of the Allentown neighborhood, and continuing for about 3 km north to Delaware Park. The district is primarily residential, and has been the premier area for wealthy Buffalonians since the early 1800s. 19th Century Mansions line Delaware Avenue, most since repurposed to schools and other uses, while luxury apartment buildings were added in the 20th century. Side streets are filled with fine homes and apartments. The area has been well maintained and occupied since its initial development, and continues to be the premier location of the well-to-do.
