I lived in a first tier Rochester suburb for 21 years and worked in the city just outside downtown (near Park Ave. neighborhood) and it was an awesome city in so MANY ways. The outer suburbs are amazing like Pittsford, Fairport, Webster, & Brighton. The taxes are outrageous. That's an issue if moving there for work. Culturally it's awesome with great things to do. The scenery is absolutely gorgeous. Wonderful small NE type villages and suburbs.
Our family moved to Rochester (Fairport) from Jacksonville Florida in 1989. Rochester definitely a great place to live And issues you're talking about are really with the City of Rochester and not the suburbs.
Same here, I left Jax 2017, best move I ever made. Grew up and lived in Mandarin 47 years.
Right and mainly young black and Latino males amongst each other,older people or people not living that lifestyle don't have to worry about it.
Ew
this video is about the CITY of Rochester. Some of us love city life.
I love living in Rochester in spite of the winters and I am a republican!
As a former resident, all these issues facing Rochester are an easy fix. STOP. VOTING. BLUE.
I agree with you 1,000,000,000,000%!!!
Yep.
Well if you don’t like it here gtfo. We still have great food and an AMAZING history here in Rochester which mostly makes up for everything you mentioned. We have great outdoorsy stuff hiking trails etc. if y’all don’t like it her get the fuck out our city go to Russia or China or Afghanistan or somethin 🤣🤣🤣 if you hate it that much then leave.
Oh come on dude I’m not even a democrat but you’re delusional if you think that will solve all problems. Go try living somewhere like Louisiana, west virginia, Kentucky, Mississippi, Alabama then come back and tell me how great red states are 😂
Move to SC! You’ll love the politics here. Rochester sounds like a good fit for me 😂
Rochester isn’t as bad as you think… I enjoyed living there. Cold as heck tho
I had to move to the tropics in Africa. I miss them garbage plates! And Rocky’s Italian! - dope pizza…. All food from Rochester lol
You will find ROC to be a great place. Cold for too long, yes, but great springs, summers and falls. Close to lots of great places like Finger Lakes. Like all cities, just stay away from bad areas. Suburbs are great!
We are moving to Fairport in a few months. We just bought a house there. I agree with you about the weather. We are coming from the pacific NW and if it's going to be cold, I would prefer there would actually be some snow as it is pretty to look at. Snow makes it brighter too so it kind of combats the gloom too. Cold and gloomy can be kind of miserable. I am surprised at how little snow the region has gotten over the last few winters.
Welcome to the area! Yeah the only winters here aren’t really that enjoyable anymore. They are just gloomy and cold and no snow. I used to LOVE NY winters, but not anymore haha
Fairports great!! Be nice…
@@rick8125 what?
Fairport is the best, good choice 😊
@@LivinginthefingerlakesNY I don't have a problem with no snow!
I live in NC. My brother and I have very similar homes. He pays nearly triple in property taxes than I do. We left 28 years ago because of the taxes. I'm just an average working guy. I simply can't afford to live there. Good luck.
@@peternorthrup6274 nc sucks now because half of new york moved there 😂
That is so sad that we can't live in the places we love to do to our financial status 🫂
I love living in Rochester NY, just don't go in the crappy parts of the city and you'll be just fine, just like any other state.ive also lived in Florida for a while, been in Dallas Texas for a summer/Alabama/missipp/let's just cut it short and say all over the south. I'm more than happy to be back in Rochester, Although I'm in Penfield out of Rochester, Is where I'm going to stay.
I have a home in Geneva. I personally like the seasons of this part of New York, the cold does not bother me. I do despise the politics. But upstate is more moderate, which I approve of. Crime in Rochester is indeed a problem, but I have walked from Park Ave and East Ave throughout Downtown and back. I know it is not much, but I have never felt unsafe. Rochester is a beautiful city with excellent architecture that has unfortunately been ruined by a political party that has bred victimhood, poverty, and despair. Voting for a more moderate or conservative group of candidates would very likely help fix what the city suffers from.
I'm not sure what you mean when you say that homes are listed for the actual market price. In my opinion, based on looking for a home in multiple regions, Rochester homes are selling way above the listed price solely due to low supply. Isn't this how it tends to work - supply and demand. If suddenly the supply increased substantially, I doubt you'd see people paying $50 - $100k over asking - especially because the property taxes are so high there. I think the only reason people are still willing to go way above asking is because even if they offer say $150k over asking, they can still get a decent home for less than $250k. But then their property taxes will be based on what they ended up paying, correct? So they'll be even higher. You are spot on about the frustration for. buyers. I've been looking for over 3 years and have gotten out bid on my offers every single time - by people with way more cash I guess. It will be interesting to see what happens when interest rates go down. I suspect that if the supply doesn't increase, it will be more of them same and worse. Thanks for your video.
Hello! Text me id love to help clarify what I mean and see if there’s anything we can do to help!
I live in Rochester already!
But that crime is just a few bad apples right like all mayor cities and a few young people doing the wrong thing and the police and the authorities allowing them to do what ever they want to do? But the mayority of people are good working and going to school.
a few ? hahaha
@@richarddenny5340 lol I know I wasn't from the area until I visited a few months ago unfortunately it's really bad.
I’m moving to ROC from Indiana..becouse of work but I’m scared 😱 thanks for the videos!!!
Exciting! Get a hold of me!
You will be ok trust me
Move outside of Rochester in one of the suburbs.
Don't listen to this fool
in my 21st year of living without a car, in South Wedge, cycle year round, take bus, love living in t😊he city, agree with most of what you share, wheres your accent from? I encourage folks to move here, our neighborhood is pedestrian oriented,
Haha my accent is from Canandaigua! I dont know honestly, I was born and raised in Canandaigua, spent 4 years in the Marine Corps Stationed in Hawaii, and thats when people said my accent changed slightly, but otherwise i have no idea hahhaha
Very good advice on Rochester element and news 😊😊😊
Wow I WAS BORN AND RAISED IN THE ROC BUT MOVED LOL
Do you miss it back home?
It has vacant store fronts. City is okay walking 🚶♂️. I'm from New York originally. I like taking the train, bus, or boat instead of driving to work. 🚍🚏🚉🚈🚇 I never like the winters in Rochester. The dating scene was never super kind to me 🙁. I got to get out of here 😆.
Hi, where would you live if not Rochester, NY
If you’re living in an area where you have to keep your car empty and doors unlocked then you’re living in the wrong area. Most of Rochester is NOT like this. If you actually LIVED in Rochester then you’d know this yourself. Regurgitating things that your ‘friends’ have told you is nowhere near the same as knowing it for yourself.
It's cloudy and raining all the time everywhere now. Can't escape whack weather anymore.
Where are the buyers coming from,local or out of state? Must be hard for new home owners to get financing competing with cash buyers. People in California are selling for big cash and buying a cheap house, for them, cash with money left over. They will over pay for a house then remodel it, put 2 Teslas in the garage and retire in Rochester.
Yeah, honestly not many people retire in Rochester at all unless financially they have to. Most retirees move south where the govt doesn’t take all their money and have better weather. Most people coming here are relocating for work, typically higher paying jobs, but there are also a lot of folks who have their parents IRA cashed out and are buying cash.
My grandfather was from Rochester so we used to go there every summer for family reunions to Love street which is on the near west side maybe 3 miles north of the Erie Canal. The three family homes in that neighborhood have all been torn down. The relatives tell me that it’s a wasteland now.
Don’t be out past 7pm if you don’t have to be in the inner city of rochester do what you have to do early in the day and get home and out the way
Sounds like you’ve a chub for Denver, tbh. The only thing correct here is the real estate market part.
I hope you have found Fairport to be a really nice place to live-because it is!!
Great video, thanks Bro!
No worries! If you’re coming to the area and need anything, don’t hesitate to reach out man!
@@LivinginthefingerlakesNY noted!
I see a lot of nice looking homes under $130k. Are these mostly in bad neighborhoods? I live in VT and see an opportunity to sell my condo and move into a cheaper home and bank some money.
The likely good of a home being Sunday $130k in a decent area and being without significant disrepair, is very slim. $130k is unfortunately going to need a lot of work in order to get it to decent standards
I live here and honestly there are no decent homes in good areas under 200k
Thanks.
Think about the time you spent putting this click bait together. Apparently you can't leave here, so embrace it - is the winter brutal or mild? Pick a lane. Also, you sound trite when comparing us to Hawaii. Final thought - your sales pitch as a realtor is to tell people how much it sucks to be you and sell Rochester? Maybe time for a different gig.
You sound like an awesome person. Think about all the time you spent on this comment bashing me, when really you’re helping me. The point of my channel isn’t to lie to people and say everything about the area is great, it’s not. I’m here to inform folks relocating here on what it’s actually like so when they get here it’s not a shock. And by the way, they call me because I’m providing value that no one else is giving. Lastly, I’m doing better than most, even with that “sales pitch”. Stop spending time at midnight shitting on people who are doing good.
Yea i was in Rochester 12 years ago it was okay i was born in new York city Rochester was nice i live in west Florida i hate it i lived in hawall years ago four years my youngest daughter was born there i have Hawaiian ancestry my grandmother was Hawaiian
The problem with Hawaii is that you’re stuck there. Nice yes, but the only place to go are the other islands. The mainland is hours away.
Unless people from all New York boroughs move to Rochester growing their corporate companies might sound less of a hassle. This explains why Manhattan is too costly.
The music is really distracting. Good video though!
Great video. I agree with everything you said. Having built 7 new homes in in this area over the past 45 years, I can say that NONE of them were located within the City limits of Rochester. I never step foot in the City now. It's a good thing that there is really no reason to do so. Sitting back waiting for August 17th, to see the total nightmare take over the Real Estate world.
Love candor of your videos. I am senior, retired. Interested in Rochester suburbs and Finger Lakes. Can bring $200-$250k cash to offer. Finance $200k. You talked last I saw about intentional underofferings. Do I have a chance?
Hi, just wondering if you ever got a response to your questions and if so, what did he say? I kinda have the same questions. Thanks.
You certainly have a chance with an offer like that! That sounds very strong and sellers love that type of offer in this market!
@Sirvivhor328 hey there!! Text me! 585-490-1900
Nothing but young criminals driving around in expensive cars all over the city in Rochester!
How's the food compared to Buffalo ?
The food in Roc Is comparable! A lot of it is almost exactly the same!
It's a list of spot on.
Drone shots of Canandaigua
Everything is truthful you need some Laws changed & Rodchesters not the best place but whys Politics in any of this Crime isn't a Political thing or where your faith lays or Drugs Blue or Red doesn't matter by the way Canada is Bordering this City right?
Canada doesn’t necessarily border Rochester. It’s separated by a large portion of Lake Ontario - Buffalo is a direct border to Canada.
Politics is a very large portion of the crime and other issues here. The city is ran by democratic policies that enable criminals, rather than deter them. Our policies get them out of jail quickly, and act as a slap in the wrist rather than using it as an example of why not to offend. Look around the country, almost everywhere that is ran by democratic politicians are dangerous, and in poverty. It’s just the facts 🤷♂️
@@LivinginthefingerlakesNY But what difference does republican make though?
I mean, Nixon was a republican president and he was so bad that he got impeached.
And Trump is republican, and looked at what happened during his term. 😆 He was the worst Prez we every had. So, if all voting where to go republican what difference do you think it would make for Rochester or any other location in America?
This guy getting more handsome by the day😂😂😂🎉🎉🎉
To me he looks a little like Jensen Ackles mixed with Zac Efron with a more square jaw.
Hi, I’m actually in search of property to put up a tiny home or cabin in upstate. Looking for a township with lax ordinances and codes, can you advise?
