What it’s like
The place. Newfane is a small community in Niagara County, New York, where residents are somewhat younger than you might expect for a quiet town, and household incomes run higher than across the county as a whole. Homes here are typically valued at a modest level for the region. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month, and summers are warm in July, with a fair amount of rain and melted snow through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, and in manufacturing, with others in shops and in professional and business services. Newfane Central School District, Tops Markets and Student Transportation of America are among the largest workplaces in town. The trip to work is a fairly typical one, and jobs across Niagara County grew slightly last year, while unemployment there is a little higher than it was a year ago.
Things to do. Close to home, Wilson-Tuscarora State Park is a protected area a short drive away, and Eighteen Mile Creek is a creek a short drive away as well. Farther afield, a longer drive brings you to Niagara Falls, one of the best known waterfalls in the world, and to Fort Niagara, a historic fort on the Niagara River.
