If you are looking for city amenities, Rochester downtown isn't far from Edgerton.
Neighborhood close to downtown Rochester
Once a bustling neighborhood next to the Genesee River, beginning in the 1950s, Edgerton has become less so, partially because of the removal of most public transportation and the demolishing of the Edgerton Park Arena, once home to Rochester’s hockey and basketball teams. Nowadays, public transportation is limited to three bus lines, two that border the neighborhood east and west and one that runs right through the middle. While Edgerton has become less visited over the years, residents in the neighborhood are only two miles away from downtown Rochester and attractions such as the Strong National Museum of Play, which claims to be one of the largest museums in the United States and the world’s largest and most comprehensive collection of play.

Queen Anne homes and duplex rentals
Whether it be Cape Cods, Colonial Revivals or Foursquares, it is not uncommon to find these homes converted into multi-family dwellings in Edgerton. With a median price of $110,000, most homes on the market are a handyman’s dream. Many duplexes start selling around $70,000 and can reach up to $160,000. In the north of the neighborhood, closer to the Maplewood Historic District, single-family Tudor Revivals, Georgian, Cape Cods and Queen Annes can sell for around $230,000, but can cost as much as $330,000. “There’s a definite range of homes in pricing and style,” says Nick Glamack, a real estate broker with Glamack Realtors, who has close to 40 years of experience selling homes. “It can really vary street by street.” Most homes have detached one- or two-car garages on the property, but on-street parking is available as well.

Three local bus lines and close to interstate
Residents in Edgerton can use the local bus system, where Monday to Friday services generally start at 5 a.m. and end at 12:30 a.m. Interstate-490, around two miles away, is the way drivers can travel throughout Rochester. A little over seven miles to the south is the Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport.
Joseph C Wilson Foundation Academy serves 456 students in grades Kindergarten-8.
School choice lottery and International Baccalaureate program
Since Edgerton residents are part of the Rochester City School District, families can apply for the School Choice Lottery and choose to send their children to different schools throughout the district. Otherwise, students in the Edgerton neighborhood can begin schooling at the John Williams School No. 5, for prekindergarten through 8th grade, which received a C- on Niche. For high school, they can graduate on to Joseph C. Wilson High School, which scores a C+ on Niche and has an International Baccalaureate program.
Convenience stores and local diners within a few miles
Walmart Supercenter is three miles to the east, while ALDI’s is right next to the Genesee River. Across the street from ALDI’s is the local convenience store Lake Food Market. There is also a Price Rite Marketplace along Lexington Avenue and Driving Park Avenue. The Mall at Greece Ridge is just over five miles away. Residents can stop by The Peppermill Restaurant, a locally owned diner that serves up breakfast until 2 p.m. most days, although Friday’s the restaurant is open until 8 p.m. for dinner options “It’s a nice diner with reasonable prices,” says Glamack. “I prefer it to more upscale restaurants.” Continuing on West Ridge Road, there are fast-food restaurants, including Olive Garden and Chick-fil-A.
Emerson Market in Edgerton provides a convenient shopping experience for local residents.

The Lower Falls Park in Edgerton actually has views of multiple large waterfalls.
Namesake park and waterfalls
Edgerton Park is located on the southern edge of the neighborhood. It contains playgrounds, basketball courts, baseball areas, a water play area, and a recreation center. Maplewood Park next to the Genesee River has a recreational trail, fishing, and scenic views of two waterfalls. The park also has a Rose Garden where a large collection of roses suited for the winter and cold months bloom from early June to November.
Recreation center with model trains and ballroom
The Edgerton Recreation Center on the southern border of the neighborhood has the Stardust Ballroom, which can be rented out, and the Edgerton Model Railroad Room, which depicts Rochester during all four seasons through painted backdrops. The Genesee Brew House was part of the original Genesee Brewery campus over 100 years ago and features a view of High Falls, a 97-foot-tall waterfall in downtown Rochester. The Brew House not only features Genesee Beer and Genesee Cream Ale, it also showcases the history of the brewing company through exhibitions.
There is also an enormous model train room featuring four sections for all seasons of the year.
