Buffalo,New York - Allentown

The Allentown neighborhood is the area of city blocks surrounding Allen Street, which runs approximately 1 km long and is about 1.5 km north of downtown Niagara Square. Allentown development dates back to the late 1820s, and the oldest existing structures dating from the 1830s. The area has been known for decades as an arts and entertainment area, and for its eclectic residents. For many decades it also served as the center of the Buffalo gay community.

Elmwood Avenue and Allen Street is the heart of Allentown, which is differentiated from the Elmwood Village neighborhood located further north.

To the east, Allen connects to the Buffalo Niagara Medical Center campus, which is adjacent to Allentown across Main Street. The new University of Buffalo Medical School building towers over the area.
