Wayne County's Williamson is known for its apple orchards
Orchards blanket the rural landscape of Williamson, a small town in New York's Wayne County. Just south of Lake Ontario and 25 miles east of Rochester, Williamson is best known for its apples and other crops like peaches and cherries. Here, generational farmers and commuters alike enjoy ample recreational opportunities on Lake Ontario and locally owned farm stands and restaurants. "It's just a precious area. The people are awesome," says Luke Cino, owner/broker at Cornerstone Realty Associates and owner of Cino Farms in Williamson.
Brantling Ski Slopes offers approximately 1,200 feet of downhill terrain with a vertical drop of about 100 feet.

Preserved historic homes and newer builds
Some homes in the town date as far back as the early 1800s, with Colonial, Greek Revival and traditional-style homes highlighting the area's history. "The hamlet of Putneyville has deep historic ties to the Underground Railroad. There are cobblestones, old houses with secret areas," Cino says. Newer homes built throughout the 20th and 21st centuries include ranch-styles, bilevels and New Traditionals. Some homes sit on residential streets in the village and hamlet areas, while others have large, private lots set around farmland. Smaller homes and fixer-uppers sell for between $30,000 and $200,000, while updated properties sell range from $200,000 to $500,000. A handful of large, waterfront properties can go as high as $900,000. Williamson has a CAP Index Crime Score of 2, lower than the national average of 4.
The typical home in Williamson contains three bedrooms, which is the most common layout in the community.
Homes in Williamson frequently include garages or outbuildings, especially in the town’s more rural residential areas.

Down the road, the Cornwall Preserve has trails through apple and peach orchards, meadows and woods that open up to views of Lake Ontario.
