Strong House for Sale

Strong, a neighborhood in Rochester, is closely tied to the University of Rochester Medical Campus and is often referred to as “White Coat Village” due to its large population of medical students and professionals. The area features a mix of single-family homes, including center-hall colonials, ramblers, Cape Cod, and Craftsman styles, primarily built in the 1930s and 1940s. These homes typically come with attached garages, driveways, and quarter-acre yards. The neighborhood is walkable, with sidewalks connecting residential areas to retail and dining hubs like College Town Rochester, which offers a variety of fast-casual dining options and shops. Highland Park, located just north of Strong, is an arboretum designed by Frederick Law Olmstead, featuring a rock garden, Japanese maple trees, and the annual Rochester Lilac Festival. Brighton Town Park and the Erie Canal Heritage Trail provide additional outdoor recreation opportunities. Mount Hope Cemetery, the resting place of Susan B. Anthony and Frederick Douglass, is also within the neighborhood. Strong hosts a mix of renters and homeowners, with several apartment complexes catering to college students and retirement-aged residents. The neighborhood is within the Rochester City School District’s South Zone, but the local schools have average ratings. Commuters can easily access Downtown Rochester, just 3 miles north, and the Frederick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport, 4 miles away.
