Fort erie isn't bad at all 3.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 06, 2024) Fort Erie is severely underrated for it's area and space it's in. most people are only looking at the negatives and not the positives. I love all the small business you can find in the area along with the restaurants with amazing food. ...Read More Read Less
Little Transit, Few Services 0.5 rating By Anonymous ( Aug 12, 2022) It has been a nightmare since moving here. They got rid of their busses and pool and my area has no baseball diamond. They switched to a van service and it has had hour to two hour waits and condensending service. A simple trip to buy food is a nightmare. For clothing we go to Ni ...Read More agara Falls, with the bad transit it takes longer. It is not friendly to families here. The town should amalgamate with Niagara Falls if they cannot afford busses for their residents or recreational activities such as an outdoor pool. I do not trust the lake water here. They only test for E-COLI and there are other things you can catch from the water they do not test for. In the crystal beach area you are cut off from the main shopping area. You rely on transit you are screwed. Also the area is extreamly racist as well as discriminatory to families. I would not recommend living here. Read Less
