Rochester Overview

Rochester, NY is located in northwestern New York. Although part of New York State, it is actually located closer to Detroit than New York City. It is situated midway between the sister cities Syracuse and Buffalo and is located on Great Lake Ontario’s southern shore and near the Finger Lakes wine region, which is world-renowned. Considered a “well-kept secret,” Rochester boasts a diverse assortment of accessibility, community, affordability, and hospitality, along with the arts and culture as well as nightlife, making it an unexpected, yet desirable place to live in New York. If you do choose to seek out homes for rent in Rochester, you will learn that those who call Rochester home call themselves "Rochesterians", which is a moniker you will likely have to embrace after moving there.  

What is the history of Rochester?

The industrial city of Rochester was founded in 1821 and is the third most populous city within New York State. It was founded on High Falls in Genesee and is home to various notable pioneering Americans, including George Eastman, Susan B. Anthony, and Fredrick Douglass. It has been considered a hub of technology, education, art, and development for centuries. It was known as the “Young Lion of the West” thanks to the fact that it fostered commerce between the country’s east and interior. It was then dubbed the “Flower City” and “Flour City” as a result of its rich horticultural and agricultural accomplishments.

How is the weather in Rochester?

Winter is the big draw in Rochester as it embodies a truly northern state thanks to around 100 inches of snow per year on average, with some recent years netting as much as 150 inches a year. Although the snow can be challenging, the area does boast gloriously cool summers and has gotten quite good at dealing with snow, meaning it rarely closes anything down, even schools. Rochester does experience what is known as the “lake effect” due to its proximity to the Great Lake Ontario. As a result, it has milder winters and cooler summers than some other areas, like Minneapolis or even Pennsylvania. Although the climate has an unfair reputation as being harsh, Rochester actually has pleasant weather that produces some of the best gardening and farming in the United States.

How do I get around town?

When it comes to getting around Rochester, there are three main options for residents: their personal vehicle, a taxi, or a bus. There is no subway system in Rochester and there isn’t a great deal of pedestrian areas either. As a result, residents rely mostly on their vehicles to get them to and from various locations, and they often think nothing of driving several miles one way to enjoy a great restaurant or to get groceries. Downtown Rochester does offer the Reginal Transit Service, which operates bus routes throughout downtown and some of the surrounding communities. In addition, Rochester has its own major airport The Federick Douglas Greater Rochester International Airport, located just three miles from downtown.

What is the Rochester commute like?

The average resident’s daily commute is only 19 minutes one way. This makes it 40% less than the state’s overall average of 32 minutes. The majority of Rochester residents drive their own car to work, making up 69.0% of residents, while others either carpool, work from home, or take mass transit. When looking for Rochester homes for rent, it’s nice to know that the commute and traffic in and around Rochester are not considered that bad, especially when compared to other similarly-sized areas.

Why live in Rochester, NY?

Birmingham rentals are a great idea as you can become the aforementioned “Rochesterian.” In addition, the city boasts award-winning early childhood educational programs as well as notable public and private elementary and secondary schools. There is also an abundance of recreational activities, world-class music, museums, festivals, theaters, restaurants, and much more.  Rochester’s population is diverse as well and the city is one that welcomes the enterprising spirit and has an abundant history of innovation. The former industrial and agricultural-based city has now evolved into an “eds and med” economy with the University of Rochester and its Medical Center being the largest employer in the region.

What Rochester landmarks should I see?

There are many landmarks to explore within this storied city thanks to its robust history. One notable landmark you won’t want to miss is the George Eastman Museum, which is the world’s oldest photography museum. See the mansion and gardens of founder Eastman Kodak and peruse film archives, photography collections, and cinematic films. Experience daily screenings of films including Hollywood classics and even early Westerns, along with live music performances. Another must-see landmark is the Susan B. Anthony Museum & House. Here, you will explore the former home of Susan B. Anthony as well as the location of her arrest. This National Historic Landmark is the site of one of the most legendary civil rights leaders of all time.

What is there to do around Rochester?

Even as a mid-sized city, Rochester, NY features big-city arts and culture, along with an abundance of things to do in and around the city. Some of the more notable cultural experiences include a visit to the Rochester City Ballet, or taking in a Broadway show at the Auditorium Center. Festivals also abound, like the nationally recognized Lilac Festival, along with the Maplewood Rose Festival, Clothesline Arts and Crafts Festival, and the Park Avenue Festival. If getting outside is more your speed, you will also love the trails and parks of Rochester, which offer hikers an opportunity to stroll among the pines, oaks, and lilacs that abound throughout western New York.

Where is the best place to move in Rochester?

While choosing virtually any Rochester location to live in will likely work out great, when looking for Rochester rentals, keep in mind that some of the neighborhoods are more desirable than others. For example, Cobbs Hill is considered one of the best places to live in New York. The area offers a suburban feel with lots of parks, coffee shops, restaurants, and parks to explore. Strong Rochester is yet another highly-ranked neighborhood and is made up of young professionals. It, too, has parks, coffee shops, and restaurants to enjoy.
