Wheatland cultivates multiple environments just outside Rochester
Wheatland is a wide-ranging chunk of Monroe County that weaves its Upstate New York landscape into a variety of settings. This community includes the village of Scottsville, which offers a suburban feel, with quiet residential corridors and an intimate Main Street lined with businesses. It also features more rural stretches, where some properties span multiple acres. All the homes in this area are close to outdoor recreation spots, including a portion of the 90-mile Genesee Valley Greenway. “People like the rural feel of it,” says Jamey Hinman, an area Realtor with Howard Hanna Real Estate Services who has over 15 years of experience selling in the region. “I think the village definitely is a draw. You have houses that are older and have more character.”

Colonial and Craftsman homes, and room to breathe
Homebuyers looking for classic architecture have the opportunity to find it at the heart of Scottsville, where there’s an assortment of colonial- and Craftsman-style homes dating to the late 1800s and early 1900s. Mumford, a smaller hamlet within Wheatland, has a similar housing stock. Wheatland also features a selection of ranch- and colonial-style options built between 1950 and 1995, some of which are relatively secluded. They're homes with breathing room, Hinman says. “They’ve got a neighbor that’s across the street or next door, but not so close that when you get out of the car you have to talk to them," Hinman says. "You can go over to the property line and visit if you want to, but nobody’s going to be offended if you don’t say anything when you get out of your car, because it’s just far enough away.” Homes around Wheatland sell for $110,000 to $490,000.
