Niagara Falls is two cities in one: the tourist district around the Falls, Clifton Hill and the Fallsview casinos, and the residential city behind it where people who work in the region live. The north end and the centre are post-war bungalows and two-storeys on good lots; the south end and Chippawa have the newer subdivisions; the Niagara Parkway along the river is the scenic address.
Niagara Falls GO and VIA station has Lakeshore West service to Toronto, and the QEW and 420 handle driving. Niagara-on-the-Lake and the wineries are fifteen minutes north; the U.S. border is across the river.
