At a Glance

Clarence Center and East Amherst are often searched together because they sit side by side, but they're distinct places, with different mailing ZIP codes and often different school districts.

*Verify any specific address with the district.

Clarence Center (14032)

Centered on the "four corners" at Clarence Center Road and Goodrich Road, Clarence Center has a small, walkable core surrounded by established and newer neighborhoods. It's home to Clarence Center Elementary, and the Peanut Line Trail crosses Clarence Center Road here, connecting to the Waterford Trail and the wider town trail system.

East Amherst (14051)

East Amherst is a mainly residential area in the northeast part of Amherst, bordering Clarence. It's home to the Williamsville Central School District offices (105 Casey Rd) and Williamsville East High School (151 Paradise Rd; built in 1975, 900+ students per the school profile), and it's close to the shopping and dining along Transit Road.
