Welcome to West Seneca, NY


Overview

West Seneca is centrally located in Erie County, just east of the city of Buffalo and the city of Lackawanna. The town is bordered to the north by Cheektowaga, to the east by Elma, to the south by Orchard Park and to the west by Buffalo and Lackawanna. West Seneca is one of the towns – along with Orchard Park, Hamburg and others – that form the inner “Southtowns,” a collection of suburban towns in the southern half of the county. West Seneca was basically a farming community until new housing and commercial development changed it to the bustling suburb of about 45,000 residents it now is.


Essentials

For retail shopping, West Seneca has several shopping plazas, including the popular Southgate Plaza and The Shops at West Seneca. The McKinley Mall in Hamburg and the Walden Galleria in Cheektowaga both are 15-minute drives from West Seneca. For grocery shopping, West Seneca has a Wegmans supermarket at 370 Orchard Park Road and a Tops Friendly Markets store at 355 Orchard Park Road. 



Recreation & Entertainment

West Seneca’s appeal is its many parks and youth-sports organizations. Buffalo, a quick drive west, has an abundance of entertainment options, including professional sports, museums, an art gallery, theater and orchestras. The Buffalo Bills play in neighboring Orchard Park, just south of West Seneca. Movie theaters can be found in Cheektowaga, just north of West Seneca, at MovieLand 8 Theatres and at Walden Galleria Stadium 16. The Charles E. Burchfield Nature and Art Center in West Seneca is a gallery and park with summer concerts and festivals that offers art classes.



Transportation & Traffic

The New York State Thruway passes through the western part of West Seneca. Route 16 goes east-west through town, and Route 78 (Transit Road) and Route 219 are major north-south roadways.



Pros & Cons

This is a great place for families with children. If you’re a pro football fan, you’re just minutes away from where the Buffalo Bills play in Orchard Park. Area malls and movie theaters are a quick drive from West Seneca. Buffalo and its many attractions are just west of the town.
