Rochester includes a diverse mix of suburbia and city life, including the shore of Lake Ontario and Charlotte Beach, where many Rochesterians spend their summer days. A vibrant neighborhood known as South Wedge sits just below downtown and caters to a young hip crowd with coffee shops and eclectic stores. Corn Hill, a classic Victorian style neighborhood, sits along the Genesee River and is host to an annual summer arts festival that attracts hundreds of artists, musicians and beer & wine enthusiasts. The East End of the city boasts a rich nightlife with the Eastman Theatre and an array of bars, nightclubs and high-end restaurants.
With the Genesee River and Erie Canal winding through the city, there is no shortage of breathtaking waterfront views.
