Craneridge is a one-of-a-kind residential community nestled in the hills of the Town of Concord, just south of Buffalo, New York. Surrounded by woodlands and natural beauty, it offers residents a peaceful, year-round lifestyle that blends privacy with a strong sense of community.

Originally developed in the 1960s as a retreat for ski enthusiasts, Craneridge has grown into a thriving neighborhood of more than 170 homes. Today, it remains a place where neighbors value the outdoors, look out for one another, and take pride in preserving the character of the community.
