This single-floor space showcases an industrial loft aesthetic defined by a striking combination of exposed brick walls, heavy timber ceiling beams, and polished concrete floors throughout. The open layout is anchored by the main living area, where arched brick windows with black frames allow natural light to pour in, illuminating the raw architectural character of the space. A baseboard heater runs along the brick wall, and pendant lighting hangs from the timber-beamed ceiling, reinforcing the utilitarian design sensibility. The kitchen is equipped with light wood cabinetry, dark countertops, stainless steel appliances including a refrigerator and electric range, and a central island with additional storage and sink. Exposed vertical pipes and overhead ductwork contribute to the industrial character of the space. The kitchen connects to the main living area via an open corridor framed by structural wooden columns. A hallway off the main space leads to the bathroom, which features a pedestal sink, a mirrored medicine cabinet, and a full shower-tub combination. An entry door with an intercom system is positioned nearby, providing secure access. The overall ambiance is urban and raw, blending original building materials with functional modern amenities.

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 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.
