How safe is Buffalo?
I go out with my friends all the time and everyone is friendly! I don’t really get any sketch vibes but there are some parts of the city that aren’t as welcoming as others. Most of the fun things to do are all located in safe and busy areas!
Posted: February 7, 2025Suburbs are okay in daylight. In the city definitely don't go anywhere alone at night. Not walkable, use car. Best to go places in groups of friends. Overall just stay vigilant and don't put yourself in unsafe situations and stay away from downtown unless you are in a group of friends
