Clarkson has rural and suburban options outside Brockport
Clarkson, New York, is technically its own town, but locals think of it more as a neighboring community of Brockport. State Route 19 connects the two towns, leading north from Brockport’s small city setting into the countryside of Clarkson. “This is a suburb of Rochester, but it’s a mix of residential and agricultural out here,” says agent Stephen Popowych with Hunt Real Estate, who grew up in Brockport and still lives in the area. “Brockport is kind of suburban, then 5 minutes outside of it, you’re seeing apple orchards.” Clarkson has suburbs and country homes with acreage, giving buyers multiple options within a few minutes of shopping in Brockport. No matter the location, people typically move here for the small-town pace and the prices. “The prices are lower than in suburbs like Greece closer to Rochester,” Popowych says. “And the taxes are lower too.”
The historic Erie Canal runs through the center of Clarkson and is a popular spot to visit.
Downtown Clarkson boasts a charming and historic ambiance with its well-preserved architecture.

Clarkson has a couple of green spaces, such as Hafner Park, which has soccer fields, tennis courts and basketball courts. But when residents have free time, they’re most likely to head up the road to Lake Ontario. “You’re 15 minutes or less from Lake Ontario, which is a huge amenity,” Popowych says. “It’s got great fishing, and boating is big too in the summer.” Hamlin Beach State Park is just over 10 miles north. It provides shoreline for swimming and a pier for fishing. The rest of the property is a wooded area with lakefront nature trails.
