Country and suburban living in Ogden
West of Rochester, the town of Ogden opens up to the countryside of Monroe County. Ogden’s abundant farmland surrounds the town’s village of Spencerport, a suburban community with a lively, downtown strip by the Erie Canal. “Ogden is where you go to find more spacious land,” says James Klossner, an associate broker with Whitetail Properties Real Estate, who has been selling homes in the region for five years. “It’s good if you’re looking for something private with a few acres, but still want close access to Rochester.”
The Village of Spencerport in Ogden was established in the mid 1800s after the construction of the Erie Canal.
Ogden residents can expect to get about 80 inches of snowfall each winter.
