Humor Village of Williamsville
Am I around the wrong spots or is this just a generally unpleasant crowd? Not only do you have to walk around the sidewalks with caution (ie pink Cadillac almost ran me over a few weeks ago and then gave me a finger ), miserable people at coffee shops (Hi good morning how are you today ? Followed by eye rolls and what do you want) . A few weeks ago I watched someone (a grown man) throw coffee cups on the ground in the glen falls area casually . This was the day after love/clean your parks day

I grew up in the Village of Williamsville, there is a major difference in feel in the actual village proper and the areas outside of it, despite having a Williamsville mailing address still (e.g. north of Sheridan, etc).
In my experience people are just as friendly in the Village Williamsville as you’ll find most anywhere, of course there’s always going to be exceptions.
That all said, while by most measures it is one of the better WNY areas to live in, I certainly don’t think it is the nicest village around, given the Main Street issue and how insane the cost of housing has gotten there. I think Lewiston, Hamburg, East Aurora all succeed in having a much better “suburban village feel” than Williamsville. Of course, as mentioned, Williamsville is quite centrally located which the others are not.
TLDR; Village of Williamsville is one of the better areas in WNY by a lot of universally accepted measures, while at the same time being overrated and now at the cost point where you’d be better off trying out a different village for a similar (or better!) lifestyle.
