Corn Hill
Corn Hill is the neighborhood Rochester points at when it wants to prove it has bones. Painted Victorians on Atkinson and Greenwood, the Sunday arts festival, gas lamps doing what gas lamps do. It is the oldest residential tract in the city, saved from urban renewal by people who refused to let it become a parking lot, and the porches show it. The honest part: inventory is thin, the houses are old in the ways old houses are old, and you are still walking under the Inner Loop to reach downtown proper. Worth it for a first date that wants architecture to do the talking.
