Sometimes called the “Best Kept Secret” of Monroe County, Rush offers a serene getaway from the hustle and bustle of a big city. As a suburb of Rochester, Rush makes living in a small town but working in the city convenient with just a short, 10-mile commute. From the New York Museum of Transportation to the Rush Oak Openings, there is plenty to keep the family entertained on the weekends. Hike, bike and enjoy the historic Lehigh Valley Trail for some fresh air and exercise or have a peaceful picnic in the park. Located in Western New York, Rush is the perfect place to watch the leaves change in the fall and will welcome any new resident with a smile.
