Rochester, NY apartments for rent

Located in the Finger Lakes region of New York, Rochester is a city that has plenty to offer in terms of history, leisure, culture, and outdoor adventures. Stop by the Susan B. Anthony Museum & House to learn more about the trailblazers who called the area home, including the groundbreaking work that led to the Seneca Falls and Rochester Women's Rights Conventions of 1848 and the eventual right to vote in 1920. You can learn more by traveling along New York's Women's Heritage Trail, which runs through the city.

Known as the "Flower City," many recognize Rochester for its nurseries, gardens, and greenhouses, along with its annual Lilac Festival. Also popular is the Ellwanger Garden, where you can see over twenty-five beds of aromatic and beautiful flowers like roses, peonies, and lilies. At Maplewood Park, home to over 3,000 rose bushes, Rochester hosts the annual Maplewood Rose Celebration when the roses are in peak summer bloom. The city has over 12,000 acres of parks and 100 miles of trails that offer residents and visitors a beautiful location for outdoor activities.
