It is a 15 minute rice to the Greater Rochester International Airport.
When you arrive you will find your apartment on the garden level of an 1870 Victorian home, with private front and rear entrances and key-less entry. Enjoy the radiant-heated ceramic floor running throughout the kitchen and bath. Beautiful quartz and granite counter tops finish the space. You will find the open design connects the kitchen and living room areas for easy conversation and socialization. The work of local artists, the soft-close cupboards and dimmer switches make it easy to create a cozy atmosphere for yourself here. The mud room with your private laundry and rear entrance leading to the parking area, can be closed off from the living area. The living space is well insulated for noise and the smart TV is equipped with Roku and Dish satellite service. The space stays cool during the summer without air conditioning due to being 3 feet below ground and the ceiling fans. When you choose this garden apartment you are ensuring yourself you will have a happy and comfortable stay.

This stay was ideal. Not only was the Corn Hill neighborhood charming and quiet, but the rental was lovely. Immaculate accommodations, top of the line EVERYTHING (from cooking appliances - Vitamix and Cuisinart in the kitchen, to Pantene and fluffy towels in the shower, to a nice antique bedframe, I loved it all. Within walking distance (around 20 minutes) to East Ave where The Neighborhood Of The Arts begins. If you get a chance, check out the home decor and floral shop Arena, and try to book a table at Redd for a phenomenal dinner!

Perfect neighborhood

Better than a hotel room in the city. Host met us in check in and walked us though, then we had the place. Lower level of a beautiful brick home. Only complaint could be that there was no Kleenex or garbage bag in the kitchen, but I think those were just minor oversights of the cleaning team.

South America, along with fairly extensive travel throughout the U.S.
My education and training from Syracuse University was Clinical Social Work. My career was with the University of Rochester Medical Center Dept. of Psychiatry. I'm now retired and spending time volunteering and exploring.
My life motto is "We all do better, when we all do better."

Why they chose this property

I purchased this property because I love both history and community. This historic neighborhood, unique for the annual 2-day Corn Hill Arts and Music Festival, and the annual Tour of Historic Homes has a dynamic and active association, board of directors and numerous committees of devoted volunteers who keep this neighborhood thriving.
Profits from these memorable events fund close to 12 active committees dedicated to the prosperity, safety and community of our residents. This is a neighborhood where opportunities for connections and active involvement abound. Folks from blocks away may meet at a committee meeting or at one of the monthly social activities sponsored by the Social Committee or one of the frequent gatherings hosted by neighbors, and become best friends! Our goal is to renew the spirit of the Victorian Era, when neighbors knew each other and rested in the comfort of knowing there is support and aid during times of need and joy. We see these stories play out time and time again in Corn Hill. Please check out our website at cornhill.org
