The flour mills from which the city would earn its first nickname were eventually to take full advantage of this water power. This One Hundred Acre Tract was surveyed beginning in 1811, streets and roads were laid out, and in 1817 the original founders joined their holdings with that of other area landholders to form the Village of Rochesterville. Rochesterville, its name shortened to Rochester by 1823, soon became the seat of Monroe County, New York and was rechartered as a city in 1834.
By 1823, the Erie Canal had made its way westward, and an aqueduct was constructed over the Genesee River at the site of the present day Broad Street Bridge in downtown Rochester, NY. The Erie Canal now connected Rochester to all points east and west.

Rents are cheaper there, with a typical one bedroom rent running at about $500 a month, studios at $400. Great places in the area include Lux Lounge, Godiva’s, India House, and Highland Park.
Looking for something a little less geared towards the college crowd? Families and young professionals both love living in the Corn Hill neighborhood. Located close to downtown, it is like its own little village. Although cheaper rents can be found there, luxury town houses offer quality family living in a close knit urban setting.
