About this House
Welcome to 187 Efner Street, a full-brick duplex on Buffalo's West Side that has been owned and lived in by the same family since it was purchased in 1996. Generations of that family have called both units home, and the pride of ownership is evident throughout this 2,256-square-foot property.
The home offers two stories plus a full basement and a full walk-up attic with pull-down stairs. The basement provides additional storage, though ceiling height is limited. Each unit features 3 bedrooms and 1 bathroom, and both units include in-unit laundry. Utilities are separately metered with 2 electric meters and 2 gas meters (1 shared water meter). Electrical service and circuit breaker panels for both units were fully updated approximately 3 years ago. Waste lines are a mix of steel and PVC with prior upgrades, and supply lines are a mix of steel and PEX. Lot dimensions are 28.75' x 90' (0.0594 acres).
Location is a standout feature of this property: this pocket of the West Side sits between Porter Avenue, Niagara Street, and downtown Buffalo, directly benefiting from the $150 million Ralph Wilson Park renovation, including a brand-new pedestrian bridge connecting this neighborhood straight into the park. Front Park is also nearby, offering river views, soccer fields, tennis courts, a running track, and some of the best sunset views over the Niagara River anywhere in the city, along with a scenic riverside bike path.
Recent comparable duplex sales within this specific West Side pocket highlight the value here: over the past approximately 500 days, duplex closings in this exact micro-market have ranged from roughly $99,000 to $162,000, several with less square footage, fewer original features, or fewer bedrooms per unit than 187 Efner offers.
This is a rare opportunity to acquire a well-maintained, owner-occupied duplex with room for improvement in a rapidly appreciating pocket of Buffalo's West Side, whether you're an owner-occupant, house-hacker, or investor. Priced to move, open house is scheduled for Sunday, 9/6/2026 from 12:00pm-2:00pm with an offer deadline of Tuesday, September 15th at 5:00 PM.

2/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageEver since I've graduated from this place, I still feel that sad feeling in my heart knowing I won't be able to be with the amazing teachers I was with throughout my years of going there.This school teaches students not only advanced academics but teaches students how to be who they want, they pursue students into following their dreams, making students feel better when they're down, helping with grades no matter the time, and so much more things that I couldn't put into this simple review.I have seen the reviews for this place, and they do look pretty bad from my point of view, but based of my experince I can assure you that this place has changed for the greater good.If you are a parent looking for a school for your child, bring them here all the way until they are 8th graders, and they will explain to you how great there time was here at waterfront, just like how I did.Student Review2mo ago - West Hertel Elementary School

4/10GreatSchools RatingParent Rating AverageThe teachers and administrators of this school are wonderful and truly care about the kids. They try to host events and include the community, but it is clear they do not have adequate funding to do so in a larger capacity. I have three children that attend this school and we are currently applying to different schools solely due to the non stop fights and lack of consequences that occur daily. There are fights at all grade levels daily, disrespectful students who interrupt classes and learning for the other students, and a severe lack of consequence or discipline to stop these behaviors.At drop off/pick up I have witnessed students yelling at teachers, walking away while being spoken to, a clear disregard. The teachers do the best they can, but there must be a lack of support that nothing has been implemented to address these concerns. Its unfortunate. Otherwise, we love the diversity and community at this school.Parent Review2mo ago - Discovery School
