Downtown Rochester straddles the Genesee River, wrapped by the semi-circle formed by the Inner Loop and I-490. This is the hub for business, entertainment, and culture. Rochester is home to Eastman Kodak, Frontier Communications, Bausch and Lomb, and Xerox; it is also the location of the historic Geva Theatre Center, the Strong Museum, and the legendary Eastman Theatre. And while you'll see plenty of skyscrapers and busy streets, Downtown Rochester is also beautiful -- amazing views of the river, public artwork, and historic architecture blend to create a photo-worthy neighborhood.
Your Downtown Rochester apartment will provide short -- most likely walkable -- commutes, easy access to mass transit, and amazing museums, shops, theaters, sports arenas, and restaurants. Several parks are also located in the neighborhood, providing peaceful green space in the heart of this urban setting. The Genesee Riverway Trail lines both sides of the river, providing an ideal jogging, bicycling, and walking. The trail extends from the Erie Canal to Lake Ontario and provides access to scenic waterfalls, pedestrian bridges, and several parks -- including four historic parks. During the winter, residents enjoy ice skating on the frozen reflecting pond at Martin Luther King Memorial Park.
