Development surged in the suburb of Henrietta

Henrietta has been a growing Rochester suburb since 1818. The area took off following the development of two interstates in the 1960s and The Marketplace Mall in the 1980s, which has led to more shopping centers and homebuilding over the years. “It’s very much a booming town as far as development goes. A lot of people are moving there,” says Luke Cino, a broker at Cornerstone Realty Associates who has been selling homes in the region for more than 20 years. Along with its highly rated schools, Cino says numerous nearby colleges and the expanding University of Rochester Medical Center are also significant draws to the area.

Homes often sell for far above asking in Henrietta subdivisions

The median home sale price in Henrietta is around $278,000 — higher than Rochester’s median of about $230,000 — and Cino says the market is very competitive. “Most houses are going well over asking price,” Cino says. “I had one buyer with offers over $100,000 — and they were still losing.” Local subdivisions offer a variety of homes, from midcentury ranch-style homes and Colonial Revivals to larger, more modern New Traditionals that sell for well above the median. Townhouses and condos are also available.

Nature parks offer trails, wildflowers and seasonal activities

Locals enjoy walking the milelong trail at Tinker Nature Park, which also features a wildflower meadow, a nature center and free nature classes. “Tinker Nature Park is pretty popular,” Cino says. “They always take kids there on field trips. Every kid in school in Henrietta has done that.” The 2,500-acre Mendon Ponds Park offers several outdoor activities. Visitors launch nonmotorized boats to go fishing, hike and bike nature trails and go horseback riding. It’s just as busy in the winter with people snowshoeing, cross-country skiing and sledding.
