Located at 179 St Paul St in the heart of Rochester, NY, this urban loft blends industrial character with comfortable living across a single spacious floor. Rich, wide-plank hardwood floors run throughout, complemented by striking ornate tin ceilings that lend a historic, industrial aesthetic to every room. The open-concept living area is generously proportioned, anchored by exposed ceiling pipes, pendant lighting, and a ceiling fan, creating an airy, loft-like ambiance. A kitchen with essential appliances is seamlessly integrated into the living space. The primary bedroom is a standout, offering ample room, large windows dressed with layered, colorful curtains that admit natural light, and the same eye-catching tin ceiling detail overhead. The second bedroom provides a comfortable, versatile space with hardwood floors, white-painted brick walls, and exposed industrial elements. The bathroom continues the loft's aesthetic with white-painted brick walls, hardwood flooring, a window for natural light, and a shower with curtain enclosure. Throughout the unit, white walls and bright natural light from multiple windows balance the bold industrial elements, creating a space that feels both characterful and inviting.

Situated in western New York on the cusp of Lake Ontario, Rochester holds the title of the state’s third most populous city. Touting a distinct blend of history and innovation, Rochester is filled with historic buildings turned modern lofts and apartments. The University of Rochester as well as Rochester Institute of Technology both contain leading research programs, lending to the city’s educated workforce and prospering future. Prominent figures like Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass once called Rochester home.
Even though it’s a fairly large city, Rochester still holds a small-town vibe. Rochester offers several community events that are widely attended, including the Lilac Festival and the Rochester International Jazz Festival.
The Strong Museum, Memorial Art Gallery, and the George Eastman Museum all feature special exhibits that inspire curiosity. Scenic views await at Highland Park, and residents adore their day trips to the Seneca Park Zoo and Seabreeze Amusement Park.

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.
