Travel brings a lot of them. Buffalo Niagara International Airport sits in neighboring Cheektowaga, and Genesee Street (Route 33) runs past the airport and east into Bowmansville. The Buffalo-Depew Amtrak station is just inside Depew's western border, served by the Lake Shore Limited, the Maple Leaf and Empire Service trains. Someone in town for a few days often wants a full house with a kitchen and a driveway, not a hotel room.
Work brings the longer stays. Industrial land runs along Walden Avenue and the rail corridor, and the villages' plan calls the Walden Avenue industrial corridor a significant asset that provides jobs. Sisters of Charity Hospital's St. Joseph Campus on Harlem Road serves Cheektowaga and the eastern suburbs. Crews, medical staff and new hires all need a furnished place for a month or more.
Local events bring visitors too. Lancaster Motorplex on Gunnville Road has raced since 1959, with a drag strip and an oval track and a season that runs from spring into September. The Central Avenue Historic District, the Lancaster Opera House, Como Lake Park and the four-mile Lancaster Heritage Trail give guests plenty to do close by. The village's annual tree lighting on Central Avenue opens the holiday season in late November.
Most homes here are single-family houses, but they are not all the same. In the Village of Lancaster, about four in five homes were built before 1970, and two-family houses and apartment buildings are part of the mix. Depew is mostly single-family homes, and nearly two in three were built between 1940 and 1960. Across the town as a whole, more than half of homes were built after 1970, and newer building has added more townhouses and apartments.
Each type fits a different guest. A three-bedroom ranch with a driveway suits a work crew or a household out of their home. One side of a village double can work for a travel nurse or a business traveler. A newer townhouse suits someone moving here for a job. We look at the home first, then decide which stays it fits.
Why guests book in Lancaster
Short-term means nightly Airbnb stays. In Lancaster and Depew these follow travel and event dates: airport and train travelers, race weekends at the Motorplex, family visits and holidays. Nightly stays mean more turnovers and more guest messages, so the home needs a team that can keep up.
Mid-term means stays of 30 nights or more. Here that means travel nurses and medical staff, people relocating for work, corporate and project crews, visiting academics and researchers, and households displaced by an insurance claim or a renovation. When a storm or a burst pipe pushes a household out, they want a furnished place close to home and work.
Some homes do best with a mix of both. We recommend the split that fits your home and your town, and we can switch it between the two as demand changes. Every town sets its own rental rules. We go over what applies to your address before we list your home.
You can hand us the whole home with full management. Or you can keep your own Airbnb account and have us co-host it: the listing stays yours, and we run it. Either way, the daily work is ours.
Getting a Lancaster or Depew home running with us is simple.
We are a local Buffalo team. When a pipe freezes in January or a guest cannot get in the door, someone close by picks up the phone and gets it fixed with a local contractor. You are not waiting on a help desk in another time zone.
We also know how guests move around here: flying into the airport, riding Amtrak into Depew, or driving Transit Road, Walden Avenue and Broadway. That shapes how we write your listing and who we aim it at. We hold a 4.9-star rating on Google.
