About Cleveland
Hill
Cleveland Hill, located between Buffalo’s East Side and the Village of Williamsville, is a residential and commercial Cheektowaga neighborhood with a classic main-street strip and a collegiate edge. The neighborhood’s character concentrates along Cleveland Drive near Harlem Road, where pizzerias, corner taverns, and long-running storefronts keep the sidewalks active. The University at Buffalo South Campus adds brick academic buildings and a steady rhythm around Main Street. Side streets feature mid-century capes and ranches mixed with older frame houses and deep lawns. Reinstein Woods Nature Preserve brings boardwalk trails and quiet wetlands close to the grid. A short drive away, the Buffalo Museum of Science and the Buffalo Zoo round out the cultural orbit.
