Walworth offers quiet living with farmland and country roads

Walworth was founded as a farming community in 1830, and not much has changed since. The town is full of farmland and country backroads, making it a quiet place to settle down. It’s about 20 miles east of Rochester and close to the city’s suburbs. Luke Cino, a broker at Cornerstone Realty Associates who has been selling homes in the region for 20 years, notes that new homebuyers are often drawn to Walworth for its prime location. “If they weren’t already living in the area — upgrading or moving within the community — usually they like Walworth because it's central," Cino says. "The 31 corridor takes you right into the Perinton area, and 441 takes you right into the Fairpoint area." The biggest change in Walworth came in the 1970s with the development of Gananda, a planned community with a more suburban atmosphere that continues to grow today.

Homes in Walworth average around 1,800 to 2,000 square feet, offering larger living spaces than many nearby urban neighborhoods.

Local pizza shops and a grocery store in the town center

The town’s few stores and restaurants are at the intersection of Walworth-Ontario and Walworth-Marion roads. There are two pizza shops, both of which are well-known chains in the Rochester region. Salvatore’s Old Fashioned Pizza and Mark’s Pizzeria serve pizza, subs, wings and other Italian-American foods. Locals shop for groceries at Tops, which has a gas station, and head to Dollar General for other essentials. Ginegaw Park hosts a farmers market every Tuesday afternoon from June through October. Cino, who also runs a cattle farm, has been a vendor at the farmers market in the past. “It’s a lively market that’s been there for years. It has a pretty good following,” Cino says. The market features a variety of products from local vendors, including meat, produce and crafts.

Salvatore's Old Fashioned Pizzeria in Walworth is a locally loved pizzeria serving classic and gourmet pizzas, wings, subs, salads, and pasta.
