Park Avenue
Park Avenue is Rochester's walkable bet: a tight strip of cafes, bars, and brick apartments where you do not really need the car you definitely still own. The summer Park Ave Fest turns the whole stretch into a block party, which residents either schedule around or schedule for. Rents skew higher than the 14607 average because the walk score does real work, and parking on side streets is a contact sport after 7pm. The tradeoff is honest. You pay a premium and surrender garage space for the privilege of leaving the house on foot, which in Rochester counts as a lifestyle.
