Neighborhood

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.

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.
