What to know when relocating to Rochester NY

[@cookingartguy2170]

Nicely done. I was born and raised in Rochester New York but left 35 years ago for South Florida where I still live. I was in my early thirties when I left. Still have family and friends there, I love my memories and certain neighborhoods, but I don't think I could ever do winter again. When I was in downtown Rochester almost every day in the late 60s 70s and early 80s, young people in Rochester now would not be able to imagine how fabulous downtown was. I know old people always say things like that lol, but it really was like New York City downtown. You would never be able to imagine it how fabulous it was and busy with throngs of people and thriving restaurants and stores, especially Sibley's department store. At Christmastime downtown was absolutely incredible and was no different than six or seven blocks in Manhattan at high noon. I know that's probably hard for young people to imagine but it is not an exaggeration. I worked at many of the restaurants and supper clubs downtown over the years and they were phenomenal, people dressed to the hilt and fabulous food and very classy. The only thing I didn't like about this video was that blue gum in your mouth was distracting LOL. But seriously, well done.

found a wonderful house for sale 140k in a clean neighborhood which is crazy to me because the equivalent here in florida would cost me 400k+. My wife and I are at the point in life where we are tired of spending 2k+ a month renting a subpar home so were looking into moving north to increase our quality of life. Thank you guys for the honest review. We also have 2 120lbl alaskan malamutes that would absolutely adore us for moving to a snow area. Im a truck driver so i want to be able to be stress free knowing my family is living comfortable.

I lived in Rochester BY for 12 years. In '96, I relocated to Miami as I couldn't handle the cold and snowy winters.

[@LivinginthefingerlakesNY]

I would say that’s the number 3 reason why people leave! 1. Politics (my next video is about this) 2. Forced relocation (job/work) 3. Weather

[@pulakchakma5947]

Hi, thanks for this informative video!

[@Jim-Lahey420]

Nice video!!

[@peterhildebrandt2827]

Hey guys nice video! Would you be able to show us the sights and some real estate if we came up? Thinking of moving up there and retiring. I would still like to work or volunteer. Lived summers in the Adirondacks for 50 years. Know nothing about Rochester. Looks interesting and an incredible place to live.

[@LivinginthefingerlakesNY]

Hey Peter! Absolutely!! Give us a text or email on the info provided and we’d be more than happy to help!

[@jademusic1211]

I would love to own a home one day (I'm 58). I presently live near Albany, and it wouldn't be possible for me to afford a home here. The major concerns I have with Rochester are the horrible crime I hear about, and the lack of public transportation. I don't drive, so that is a huge factor in where I move. Transportation here is pretty decent, but I don't know about there. I'd live in a better area like Fairport, but I don't see good options on the transportation site for Rochester for getting to and from villages/small cities outside of Rochester.💔

[@manuelfernandez4284]

My wife and I are planning a trip up there sometime this year to see how it is . Any areas in specific that guys recommend for housing.

[@LivinginthefingerlakesNY]

For housing you mean short term stay while you’re here, or do you mean ultimately when you move where you should move to?

Looking at Rochester and wanting to move out of Idaho

[@treeskier802]

I live in the Burlington VT area and own a condo. But I see a lot of nice houses in Rochester for under $125k with a garage or 2 car garage. Are the houses in that price range in safe areas? I don’t see your email address-could you provide that to me so I could pick your brain about Rochester. Looks like a nice place to live as long as you can steer clear of where the overwhelming crime is.

You have a place to go for your ged?

[@Saiyan585]

Rochester is a crime-ridden cesspool. Downtown is dead. Stay away from everything in between East Goodman and Main all the way to where Main turns into Chili Ave. Then everything between the airport down to Norton st. Basically the city. The exception being Park Avenue, East Avenue area. Pittsford, Henrietta, Fairport, North West Greece, Penfield, East Webster, good. Nothing bordering the city. RIT area is decent so long as you don't venture past college town into the West side around Genesee st and Jefferson Ave area.

What to know when relocating to Rochester NY from someone born and raised….. don’t 😂

[@rub549]

isn't this the place where a little girl half naked was running down a busy road in the middle of the afternoon, screaming for help than the car she got out of reversed it the guy stepped out grab her put her back in the car and killed her, they found her a couple days later. That's what you need to know, and of course all shootings violence

[@pamelataggart2988]

You must be talking about Carman Colon,
She died 1971, I went to number 5 school the year before she died
