I lived in both. Kenmore/North Buffalo in the north and Lake View/Hamburg in the south. There are pros and cons for both and really depends what you’re looking for. Definitely a lot more snow in the south, which I don’t really mind. It’s also a lot more spread out and less traffic. It’s not everywhere in the north, but a lot of it just feels more crowded and congested. I miss being able to walk to the convenient store and restaurants in Kenmore, but I like my wooded lot in Lake View.
