Avon offers a laid-back vibe, strong schools and easy access to I-390
Home to about 7,000 people, the town of Avon in Livingston County includes a village of the same name and several smaller hamlets. Residents choose this rural community for its quiet atmosphere, proximity to Interstate 390 and respected schools. Kraft Heinz, a major employer, is located in the village of Avon. “It’s definitely a farming community and tight-knit,” says Matthew Sharman, a Realtor with Empire Realty Group who has sold homes in the area. “It’s close to a lot of things and 25 minutes to Rochester and being able to pop onto 390 is huge.” Sharman adds that the area is “the first stop on the way to Conesus Lake, and it’s kind of the entry point to the GLOW region, which is Genesee, Livingston, Ontario and Wyoming counties.”
The walkable streets of downtown Avon feature inviting storefronts, cozy shops, and a relaxed atmosphere perfect for exploring.
Once a popular spa destination in the 19th century, Avon still reflects its past through preserved landmarks, parks, and walkable village streets.

Historic homes in the village core and new homes near the interstate
The area’s housing stock is concentrated in the village of Avon, which features gently sloping streets with trees, green lawns, driveways and some sidewalks. Sharman says Avon is one of the few places in southern Rochester that has a planned residential community. The Royal Springs development has new builds close to I-390. “That’s unique to this area. Most of these towns,” including Avon, “follow the same structure — they have a historic village, and as you get to the outskirts you have ‘50s, ‘60s and ‘70s homes, but very rarely do they have builds that are from 2000 and beyond.” The community has a median sale price of about $300,000, higher than nearby Caledonia’s median of $200,000 and Rochester’s $250,000.
Avon's median single‑family home price of $225,000 reflects a solid mid‑market range appealing to both first‑time buyers and long‑term residents.
With 51 residential properties sold in the last year, Avon continues to maintain steady turnover in its single‑family home segment.

Avon has public and private options in town
Many students attend Avon Central Schools, which receives a B grade from Niche and serves about 1,000 students. The Early College High School program offers college credit through Genesee Community College. “The schools are definitely a draw, and people put that at the top of the list when they’re looking for the area,” Sharman says. Avon is also home to the private St. Agnes School, a Catholic school that is currently unrated by Niche. The school has served the community for 150 years and has about 100 students in pre-kindergarten through sixth grade.
Avon schools consistently rank in the top 50% statewide, with strong proficiency scores in math, reading, and science.
St. Agnes School in Avon offers faith‑based education for children from preschool through 5th grade, welcoming students of all faith backgrounds.

Parks, trails and the iconic Five Arch Bridge
The village has six parks, the largest being Avon Drive Park at 56 acres. It features sports courts, ball fields, an ice skating rink and a small playground. The 2-mile Erie Attica Park Trail follows the former Erie Railroad, and the picturesque Five Arch Bridge, which once carried the Genesee Valley Railroad across Conesus Creek, now serves as a scenic spot to enjoy nature or a picnic. “That’s a really good place for photos,” Sharman says. “Five Arch Bridge is an iconic landmark in Avon.” Anglers and paddlers can access the Genesee River from a small pull-off area on Main Street. Just a few miles south of the village, Fairview Golf Course is open to the public, and Papermill Park has picnic tables with views of waterfalls and Conesus Creek. Conesus Lake, one of 11 Finger Lakes, is about 10 miles away.
Measuring roughly 200 feet long and 12 feet wide, the Five Arch Bridge showcases classic ashlar masonry and 19th‑century railroad engineering in Avon.
Avon Driving Park has plenty of play areas for children.

Charming downtown area has local restaurants
Groceries are available at TOPS Friendly Markets in the village. Sharman says the village has “a very quaint downtown and lots of established businesses and a lot of variety, which is great too.” Dining options lean cozy and casual, like tavern fare at The Avondale Pub and breakfast specials at Village Restaurant. “The Avon Inn is a historical landmark. It was built back in the 1800s and now it’s been renovated and turned into a cool restaurant” and boutique hotel, Sharman says. Tom Wahl’s, a regional franchise, “does 50s-style burgers and fries, and that’s an excellent slice of Americana preserved,” he says.
The Village Restaurant is a cozy small‑town diner in the heart of Avon known for friendly service, great coffee, and homestyle comfort food.
The Avon Inn, a beautifully restored 1840 Greek Revival landmark, now offers boutique hotel rooms, event spaces, and dining in the heart of Avon.

Annual Corn Festival celebrates agriculture
The town’s biggest celebration is the annual Corn Festival, a free event hosted by the Avon Rotary Club in August. Corn has been an agricultural mainstay since the Seneca cultivated the area, well before the area was first settled in 1789. “It’s like corn in every way that you can think of,” Sharman says. “There’s live music, vendors, food stands, a parade, things like that.” The village also hosts a farmers market downtown on Saturdays during the summer.
Just over 20 minutes from Rochester
Avon’s location is a primary perk for buyers. Residents have easy access to Interstate 390, a major north-south highway. Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport and Strong Memorial Hospital are about 20 miles away in Rochester. Public transportation is available through multiple Regional Transit Service (RTS) Livingston bus routes and a connecting route to Warsaw and Perry. Some routes run only in the mornings, and riders have to schedule return trips through RTS. Flash flooding in the summer of 2025 damaged homes and destroyed part of Sackett Road. News reports estimated repairs could cost nearly $3 million. However, the Mt. Morris dam reduces the threat of flooding in the area, and Sharman says flooding is rare. The last flood in 2015 damaged several roads in Avon and Ashantee and caused $200,000 in damage.
