Mature trees and sidewalks line the streets of Tonawanda, a riverside city bordering the Niagara River and situated around Ellicott Creek. Tonawanda is close to Niagara Falls and the Canadian border, less than 10 miles north of Downtown Buffalo. Parks stretch along the rivers, and boating is a popular pastime in Tonawanda.
Tonawanda is a terrific place to live -- after renting an apartment here, you'll be able to enjoy the riverwalk path in Niawanda Park, catch a concert at Gateway Harbor Park, or attend one of the city's many festivals. Canal Fest, a week-long festival that began in 1983, celebrates the city's location on the historic Erie Canal. One of the city's landmarks, Tonawanda Castle, is a former armory built in 1896 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Today, this impressive building -- complete with a 100-foot turret -- is a privately-owned event space.

School data provided by
GreatSchools
The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
