I grew up in Niagara Falls, NY, in the 1960’s. It was great then. But I recently went back to show my son my roots, and I was shocked!
Accurate! You even covered the "astounding" potholes 😂 couldn't have put it better myself.
And the hoops! I started a small business, and I needed proof of insurance to apply for a license. The insurance was close to $10k! I explained to the city clerk and she said "well thats whats required for the application, there's no pre-approval or anything like that". I was like "So you're saying to apply for a license that my be denied I have to gamble $10k?", she was like "yea that's the process". Insane. And sad. Nice vid man you covered a lot.
I appreciate it
Dad was stationed at Falls Airbase in 1982-1984 and we lived in Town of Niagara and I liked it so much . Junior High at Lasalle was great. Great people. I remember being warned even then of going downtown . I was cruising Google Earth around La Salle and it still looks the same. Those Victorian homes are so nice. Far cry from out West cookie cutter sub-divisions. Those lawns and those neighborhoods are very desirable. I could live there again.
Really cool how truthful you are.
Yep~~He nailed it~~Niagara Fall N.Y. is really really bad~~I can't believe I still live here~~I can't believe that there are so many boarded up houses..Years ago there were so many places for children to go~~Like parks, girl's and boy's clubs etc. Parents are afraid to let their kids go out and play~~Even the schools are bad~~I see cop cars at Gaskill because kids sneaking in guns, drugs and more fights~~Pine Ave.(Little Italy) is so different and ugly now~~Along with all the crimes there too~Main Street was really nice years and years ago~~Nice stores of all kinds~~Mens, womens shoe stores and Restaurants~~My Ma and I would walk to Main Street and go shopping~~Don't ever walk alone there..If ya''ll have to go to Burger King make sure you go through the drive thru~~My Ma said that Main Street was always nice~~They destroyed Falls Street~~There's so much more terrible things but I'll end this by tellin ya''ll never walk alone anywhere in Niagara Falls N.Y.The city is the worst~~Lasalle area Town of Niagara are sort of alright~~Just watch your backs~~Stay safe ya"ll~~
Thank you, Devonte! This was a great and informative video. As a child, I lived in Niagara Falls, NY, but we moved in 1973. I went to 17th Street School (no longer there), then Harry F. Abate Elementary. My father was the pastor of the Pierce Ave. United Presbyterian Church and our family lived on Pierce Ave. I remember great pizza somewhere downtown (anyone know where this might have been?). God bless you, Devonte!
So informative. I am considering Buffalo/ Niagra because the Falls are so beautiful.
You should! Let me know and would love to help
I am here now I love this place
In 1982, i made $16.50/hr in industry in the falls!!
I would hold my paycheck up againt any other worker, my wife was UAW, i was in a union too! Everyone was, and the benefits were great too!! A luxury car was $18,000 sticker! $12,000 cash!
Thank you for making this! I'm considering moving to the Buffalo or Niagara Falls area in the spring or summer (depending on how quickly my house in KC sells) but feel really unsure about which areas are safe for a family. I subscribed to you so I can watch more of your content. I may bug you more this coming spring. Thanks :)
That’s no problem at all that’s why I am here, we can jump on a call at anytime!
He is just one of 300 agents. Shop around and do your own RE research. Dont just trust one dude. Dumb.
Niagra falls NY reminds me a lot of downtown Barrie Ontario. It gets sketchy at night but for a grown male it's not too bad.
Thanks for the insight!
Great video
Thanks Todd!
I travel from Florida to Niagara Falls, NY with my wife about a month ago and touring around the downtown area atleast all I could think to myself is, "How can such a nice place need so much improvement?" The lyft driver warned me of where not to go, didn't see a lot of people out in the streets except for in the falls area during daytime, a lot of businesses closed, it really caught me off guard. But I did enjoy the place to the fullest though. I spent a whole day, night and half of the other just watching the falls, walking around the park, and that trail along the river. Felt so much peace. Oh! And people are pretty nice too. I wish I had the time to tour around Buffalo too.
Yes true , sometimes it hard to explain
@@buffaloliving2.0devontedav65 I bet. Thanks for your videos 👍👍👍
Dam im originally from miami, moved to nyc 11 years, wanted to buy property in niagra falls due to the canadian border close by and cheap housing. But now doing research, and your channel is one of them now.
Born and raised in Niagara Falls NY I left the Falls Aug 1 2004 and NEVER looked back
Yes it has some rough spots and a couple nice areas along the state parks. I really hope the Amazon warehouse goes there that would be huge
Where did you move to?
@@2012itguy Metro Atlanta area
My hometown for 30 years. Corrupt government doesn't begin to tell the story. I got out in 2010 and am also shocked every time I return to visit. Sad.
I gotta have ya, so I subscribed😘
Lol I appreciate it
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experiences. I found your video because I was curios why the Canadian side had such higher home prices, and why even for the US Niagara real-estate was so affordable.
Yes the sides are legit night and day, it’s crazy
He is lying to you. I live on both sides. Its called crime on the U.S side, mass mass mass immigration on the Canadian side. No jobs either side . And its only 50,000 people "left" on the U.S. side. It used be 450,000
Took my family to Buffalo Niagara falls right after the restrictions were lifted after covid-19, wanted you the Canadian side of course there's 10 xs more to do etc etc . I found that it was a big tourist trap, without the casino it would be lost and everything surrounding the casino was run down and trashy. Then to come to find out that the big oxy building better known as America's building souvenir shop had back history to the Love canal kind of blew my mind. Everything was super overpriced I probably won't go back. I always appreciated Buffalo. We live in Chardon Ohio 27 miles Northeast of Cleveland. Reminds me a lot like Cleveland,the city that is. Man I ate this Italian joint in Little Italy though that was phenomenal. Great video man really!!
Thank you so much Floyd, most definitely appreciated
@@buffaloliving2.0devontedav65 thank you too sir it was a great video and I subscribe I'll be back up that way Cleveland and buffalo are both on the same level. 🔥💯
You’re asking some really good questions. Where is the infrastructure?
Aw, I thought this video was gonna be like "living near niagara falls and the risks of falling into the water in your backyard." lol
Lol I have a little bit of that in there
I can confirm it's very expensive in Niagara Falls, Canada. Houses go for 600k and up it's NUTS when I moved here you could get a house for 149k.
I LOVEEEEEE exploring Niagara Falls, NY. I was just over there today actually around Niagara blvd and 18th. It's neat seeing new places, unfortunately I got pissed on and soaked bad lol.
If you ever have some spare time id love to rack your brain on a few things about over their!
Excellent man! That sounds great !
Yes i am
I was born and raised in Niagara Falls. I moved to Buffalo 20-years ago and vowed never to return.
Lol I’ve heard this statement before
What up bro i been watching ur videos a lote to learn about buffalo because as you can guest i’am a bills fan go bills .I am from CA and me and my wife got tickets to the bills packers game on the 10/30 can’t wait .Where is a good place to stay in between the airport and high mark stadium,i don’t mind anyplace but you know the wifely she kinda boosy where do you recommend .
Hey Rich there’s a bunch of hotels by the airport, that maybe your best bet honestly
Hi Devonte,
I'm one of those who work in Canada and live part-time in NF USA (on Whirlpool St just south of Whirlpool State Park). Besides the (much) lower housing prices, the gorge trails and nature are much better on the U.S. side, and I find the people to be nice and down to earth here. I can be across the border in minutes using my Nexus card at the Whirlpool bridge. Toronto is 90 minutes away when traffic is smooth. NF airport has cheap flights to Florida where I have family and my second home. You could do well advertising NF USA properties to Canadians, many of whom are priced out.
Yes you have to check out my last video, I talk about that exact option for Canadian
As a Canadian I hope more people from Ontario buy homes in Niagra Falls New York and commute back to Canada to work. I would definitely do that the homes are so much cheaper but my job is too far from there. If you have a job in Niagra region it would be worth it. People in the Toronto area are commuting 2hrs a day within the city. The traffic in the GTA is a nightmare. If enough canadians did this it would help revitalize Niagra Falls. There is a big shortage of cheap homes in Southern Ontario.
No stay in Canada. We don't need you. You people can not drive and you buy up all our milk eggs and gas. 😂😂
Wow, 2 he commute is insane
Good luck affording that bridge toll every day. My Dad did that for 20 years, it's not worth it.
@@MaxximumRage The bridge is $5 and you only pay going one way. I wouldn't want to do the commute every day, but a couple of times a week is very doable. I do it and just catch up on podcasts and calls during the drive. If you drive off-peak hours, the QEW highway on the Canadian side is smooth sailing.
I need to move to this city. Where do i need to look in the area and how are the taxes?
It will be useful to get from the city authorities a full price list of how much will cost to get permits for each stage of construction process (including bribery prices) and time to get it. That way whoever would like to buy or invest know the whole picture.
That’s actually a really good suggestion, if I come across this information I will surely pass it along
I am from Toronto and looking to invest in a rental property I have been looking at anything along Lasalle Expressway. Is that a good area to invest?
Could you do a video on Elma?
Hey yes I will do my best,
It’s pretty spread out so let me see how I can create that
@@buffaloliving2.0devontedav65 Thanks... How far of an area around Buffalo do you cover?
I pretty much cover about a 45 minute radius around buffalo
how is the STR market in buffalo NY?
What about the job market specifically logistics sector
That I don’t know you would have to look that up yourself
Hey man im a student about to stay in Niagara Falls for the summer any tips where i should NOT go and where i SHOULD go?
Here watch the Living in NF video
Recently was in niagara fall I was in awe of the beauty and the corruption
Yes it’s perplexing for sure lol
I. Always wanted to invest in niagara by the falls for future. Do you see it becoming like the Canadian side in the future?
Ummm that’s a good question, it would take a lot of planning and money. Not sure if the city wants that. Crazy to say, I hope it does change though that would be amazing
Not a chance
Hi, you mean no chances at all of any future development? I’m concerned about crime, where to avoid etc..
No stay away
So basically get there in the morning, go see the falls maybe get something to eat then get the hell out of there before nightfall.
lol that could be a solid plan there!
There are some really nice parts of the Falls honestly, especially around the whirlpool and Niagara state park
I'm kind of hesitant to move to Niagara Falls New York because of the crime
Bro, I’m visiting Niagara Falls now and Seneca was wack! Lol!! You need to come to Dallas, TX.
I do not disagree lol how long were you here for?
@@buffaloliving2.0devontedav65 Only two days! I'm glad I got to experience the Falls, but the city was a sad sight to see. I'm hopeful things improve.
Yes me and you both!!
I just went on Zillow
For sale by whirlpool state Park college Ave. Run down fix upper. Up and coming neighborhood. $28k & $30k house for sale. Makoon ave too
And one mile away Lewiston $875k homes
Yes that sounds about right lol. Lewiston is absolutely gorgeous
I am thinking a buying a house in Niagara. Is the city improving? Will it catch up to the Canadian side in a few years? I ask because I'm from NYC and only visited once
I don’t think it will catch up in a few years honestly, it will take longer than that. I don’t even see them making strides towards improving. Kind of sad
It will never catch up to the Canadian side
The only way Niagara falls NY will rise up if the latino immigrants move in, they will clean up just like they cleaned up Compton CA
No chance. Its worse now than prior to COVID. Dont listen to this wannabe RE agent.
It look alot like Detroit
I lived off 19th and hated it
Is it wise to invest there since it's cheap?
If your numbers make sense yes
No but fools buy everything there thinking it will go up in RE
It's a shame they dont put money back into the neighborhoods, i here Atlantic City NJ is the same way.
Yes, or we just have to start doing it
Niagara Falls NY does show signs of major corruption, otherwise it has full potential to be at par with the Canadian side.
I totally agree Alan!
The real question is, are u a die hard bills fan? :)
Ouuuuuu that’s a great question
All the taxes all the money collected from the damn casino where does it all go??? We have the falls in our backyard where's all the money... I'm glad you brought that up a lot of crooks around this city running it.. not to mention the ticket writing racket in Niagara Falls and that's pretty much what it's become... I could tell you a handful of reasons why Downtown Niagara Falls is in shambles and the way it is but nobody wants to hear the truth 1 big downfall when it comes to the downtown area is all the housing... The businesses couldn't stay afloat when we should have had tourism make this place a powerhouse.. but all the things came together that made this town ripe for the picking and that's what's been done to this place and they got a lock on it..
As a Niagara Falls resident, I do appreciate the economic transparency of this video. However - what an absolute injustice to shoot video in the dismal winter!! Of course it looks terrible. Friends, please know it's much more beautiful in the summer. I'm a tour guide and absolutely love sharing the VAST history of the Niagara region. Also, it's actually not one of the 7 wonders, but still awe-inspiring. It's worth the visit 100%, just avoid the things mentioned here.
Check out the most recent one I did of downtown !
I wish this city could turn around. So much potential just wasted. I wish it could be fixed.
I agree with that a Dave
Niagara Falls is a dump once you leave the immediate falls area, I should know I was born and raised there.
Thanks for your comment!
Not that way anymore
A lot of corruption goin on in the falls
So I hear, shame
The top paying jobs are gone,hooker, du pont, olin, nabisco, union carbide, prestolite, and more!! Those jobs are gone! And so are the people!
What i dont like is most americans need a passport to come Nd go, how Nazi of both governments!!
Born and raised in the Falls. It’s a disgrace. Period.
The truth is hard. Dangerous place.
Yes it can be tough in NF, but it does have a few hidden Gems
Lots of skanky pros and too many ex-cons!
I had to read this 3 times to get the full laugh lol
