Parma offers both a rural lifestyle and suburban amenities
Northwest of Rochester, Parma blends farmland and suburban living. Local mom-and-pop markets and eateries pepper country backroads, and new construction and top-rated schools attract families to the city’s outskirts. “Residents have a strong sense of community,” says Joseph Avery, a broker with RE/MAX Titanium who grew up in Rochester. “You’ll find many families who have lived here for generations. Small businesses rule, and Parma gets the best and worst of all four seasons.” While nearby Lake Ontario adds to the town’s outdoor recreation options, the lake also brings cold fronts during the winter months, which can include lake-effect snow. The Village of Hilton provides a more concentrated retail area, and State Route 259 allows for a 15-mile commute to Rochester. “Parma is a great location for people who love the city but prefer the country,” Avery says. In addition to the town’s quiet atmosphere, the area receives a 1 out of 10 CAP Index Crime Score, the lowest possible score.
Parma is known for its friendly neighborhood atmosphere and a sense of community.
Parma residents enjoy access to both the rural tranquility of Monroe County and recreational opportunities along Lake Ontario.

Local eateries line backroads and historic churches fill Hilton
Rural routes dominate much of Parma, where farm stands and antique stores are common. Local eateries are scattered throughout the backroads, including Abe’s on the south end along state Route 104. This classic American diner serves burgers and sandwiches in a log cabin. On the east side of town, Kelly’s Farm Market & Bakery is open from Labor Day through December. “You can watch cider being made and smell the freshly baked pies and turnovers,” Avery says. “People come from neighboring towns to buy from Pettinari’s, too,” he adds, referring to the popular deli and pizzeria on Parma's west side. North of Parma Town Park, the proprietors of Mamaste have created a mom-friendly environment where customers can order lattes and sandwiches while children up to 5 years old can enjoy a dedicated play area. The countryside provides a suitable landscape for wineries, with Mayers Lake Ontario Winery & Cidery and Blue Barn Cidery representing two oft-visited options.
The Village of Hilton, centrally located in Parma, offers more shopping and dining options. In addition to eateries and a Tops Supermarket, this town center area is home to several historic churches. The cornerstone of St. Leo the Great Catholic Church was laid in 1882, and the village itself was named after Reverend Hilton of Hilton’s Freewill Baptist Church in 1896. The Hilton United Methodist Church burned down in 1965, leaving behind only the stained-glass windows that are featured in the new building today.
The Dakota in Hilton is a warm and welcoming restaurant and bar serving prime rib, lobster bisque, and other seafood dishes, plus live entertainment.
Abe's Restaurant, in Spencerport, is a popular destination for Parma residents seeking classic American comfort food.

Parma Town Park and other green spaces provide recreation
Located off state Route 259, Parma Town Park features a playground and a skate park. There are also athletic fields where youth leagues play, as well as basketball courts and a paved walking trail that passes by a fishing pond. The Bark Yard is a new off-leash dog park with play equipment. Members pay a $25 annual fee. Parma Town Park hosts the annual Clams and Bands, a free summer kick-off event complete with a clambake and other grill favorites, live music, adult beverages and an ice cream truck. The Village of Hilton also draws a crowd twice annually, once in the summer for the Fire Department Carnival and again in the fall for Apple Fest.
In north Parma, Salmon Creek Nature Preserve covers 29 acres of grasslands, wetlands and woodlands, and is a popular spot for birdwatching and fishing. The preserve has 2.5 miles of hiking trails and an accessible observation deck. On the west side of town, the Deerfield Golf & Country Club was built on more than 350 acres. The 27-hole golf course is open to the public and was the 2024 winner of the Democrat & Chronicle’s Best of Rochester’s award. To the east, along the Braddock Bay of Lake Ontario, Manitou Beach Marina offers 100 floating dock slips and a boat ramp.
Parma Town Hall Park occupies nearly 200 acres and offers year-round recreational opportunities.
Deerfield Golf & Country Club is located 20 minutes west of downtown Rochester and features 27 holes of championship golf.

Commuters can access state Route 104 to reach Rochester
While the Regional Transit Service bus has routes through Parma, the area is car-dependent. State Route 259, the town's main artery that runs north-to-south, connects commuters to other highways like state Route 104, which brings them to downtown Rochester. Just outside of downtown, Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport is about 15 miles from Parma.
