This single-floor unit offers a straightforward, functional layout with consistent wood-look vinyl plank flooring running throughout all rooms, providing a cohesive and easy-to-maintain surface underfoot. The living area is a well-proportioned open space with neutral walls, multiple electrical outlets, and a large window that invites natural light and outdoor views, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. The bedroom is a distinguishing space, featuring a vertical wood-panel accent wall that adds warmth and texture to the otherwise neutral interior. A window-mounted air conditioning unit provides climate control, and a sliding-door closet offers practical built-in storage. An additional smaller room, accessible through an open doorway, provides flexible space suitable for storage or a home office. The galley-style kitchen is lined with warm honey-toned wood cabinetry and includes a white gas range, an integrated sink with a tile backsplash, and a full-size refrigerator. Overhead lighting illuminates the workspace efficiently. The layout flows naturally toward adjacent rooms. The bathroom features a wood-vanity with a white countertop sink, a mirrored medicine cabinet above, and a full-length storage closet alongside. Wood-look flooring continues into this space, maintaining design consistency throughout the unit.

While most people think of urban skylines and walkable grids when they hear the word “uptown,” Uptown Rochester encompasses a more spread out suburban community just west of U.S. Highway 14, a little less than two miles from Downtown Rochester. Here, you’ll find charming single-family homes and low-rise apartment complexes all set within an idyllic, tree-lined layout. Proximity to the highway and Downtown Rochester makes Uptown Rochester perfect for commuters and families who want a little more space in this up-and-coming urban center.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
