Student Housing in the White Coat Neighborhood

Last week it was 70 degrees out and today there is more than 2 feet of snow on the ground.  That is typical March in Rochester, NY.  And while the weather is not predictable, one thing you can count on..... a new crop of smart, young doctors canvassing the Rochester area looking for a place to live while they complete their residency at the Strong Medical Center.

Many of them end up in the Rochester's White Coat Village, which is named for the many medical professionals that choose to live there to be close enough to walk to the University of Rochester Medical Center.

Besides being close to the hospital, this neighborhood is bordered to the south by the Erie Canal that features a great walking and biking path and is less than a mile to City Gate, a brand new shopping and dining center.  To the west, there is the Genesee River that boast the River Walk Trail that offers a biking and walking trail to the north through downtown Rochester, past several gorgeous waterfalls and ends up at Lake Ontario.  Across the River is the Genesee Waterways Center that offers canoe and kayak rentals.  

Just north of the neighborhood is College Town, a mixed use district with loft apartments, fine dining, puts and shopping.  During the summer months, College Town provides free live concerts and outdoor movies.

Also close by are two beautiful parks designed by Frederick Law Olmsted.  To the west, Genesee Valley Park has two golf courses, soccer fields, baseball diamonds and picnic shelters.  Highland Park, located to the east, is home to more than 1,200 lilac bushes, plus Warner Castle with a sunken garden and Lamberton Conservatory.  

With so much to do, it is no wonder that the White Coat Neighborhood is a very popular place to live.  There is great demand on the local real estate market.  For more information about living in the White Coat Village, contact Mary Shelsby with ReMax Realty Group at 585-414-5513.
