Gates is quieter living on the cusp of the city
Gates is a gateway to suburban living just beyond Rochester, New York’s fourth-largest city. “Gates is your transition community between the city and the suburbs. It brushes right up to the city, so you have some overlap there,” says Jamey Hinman, a local Realtor with Howard Hanna Real Estate Services who has more than 15 years of experience. The quiet area is filled with sidewalk-lined streets shaded by rows of tall oak trees. Its established but well-kept homes are close to city amenities as well as the West Gates and Westmar shopping centers. “Gates houses are typically a little bit smaller, so you do get more of your starter-priced homes in that area,” Hinman says.
Quiet residential streets, some lined with sidewalks
Most houses in Gates were built between 1920 and 1990, a selection dominated by bungalows, colonials and ranch-style options. Homes often sit on quiet streets, including some stretches lined with sidewalks. Properties are organized relatively close together on lots starting at around a fifth of an acre. Homes sell for anywhere from $90,000 to $480,000, depending on condition and square footage. Gates also has condos and townhomes, some built within the last 20 years, with prices ranging from $110,000 to $390,000.
Some bungalows in Gates come complete with spacious fenced-in backyards.
Colonial-inspired homes in Gates offer large covered front porches.

Students have access to business classes, coding and sports
Most of the community is within the Gates Chili Central School District, which holds a B rating from Niche; however, a western portion falls into the Spencerport Central School District, rated B-plus. Students in the Gates Chili system may start at B-minus-rated Neil Armstrong Elementary, where extracurriculars include coding, gardening and art. Gates Chili Middle gets a B and offers intramural sports teams and a synchronized swim club. Gates Chili High earns a B-plus and features a dedicated business department with classes in finance and marketing. Private options in the area include B-rated Northstar Christian Academy, which serves preschool through 12th grade.

Downtown Rochester is about 4 miles away
Most homes are within 10 miles of the Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport. Interstate 490 is a direct route into downtown Rochester, about 4 miles away. Gates residents also have access to the Rochester area’s Regional Transit Service bus system.
Buffalo Road beckons with shopping, dining and entertainment
Locals can stay within the suburb to grab groceries or a bite to eat. Buffalo Road is lined with businesses, including the West Gates Shopping Center, anchored by Tops Friendly Markets. Westmar Plaza has restaurants like Pura Vida Ville, whose birria tacos are local favorites. Other nearby restaurants include Mr. Beenz Diner, a big draw for breakfast. Cinemark Tinseltown Rochester and IMAX, just off Buffalo Road, is the only IMAX theater in the Rochester area. “It is a spot that a lot of people run to because Tinseltown is unique in the area,” Hinman says. Chili Avenue, to the south, is home to Westgate Plaza, with a Walmart, a Dollar Tree and other chains.

Community parks feature fields, courts and playgrounds
Multiple green spaces are scattered around the Gates area. “They’re all really nice community spaces,” Hinman says. Wegman Road Park has a playground and a climbing wall, and Westgate Park offers a nature trail, basketball and pickleball courts, and baseball fields. Golfers can explore membership at the nearly 100-year-old Brook-Lea Country Club, whose private 18-hole course was designed by Donald Ross. The Gates Community Center is one option for indoor activity, including ballet and tai chi classes. The Westside Family YMCA features a pool, a wellness center with weight equipment, and group exercise studios.

Other community events include an annual Gobble Wobble 5K on Thanksgiving and a holiday pajama party in early December at the Gates Community Center, with games and opportunities to visit Santa.
