8. DESCRIPTION AND CHARACI'ERlSTICS OF AREA: Effective Tax Rate for all 11 A11 areas
in Rochester based on 3 Balas $00.49
A amall area advantage6ua1.y located on tho lake front at soma distance from the
center of Rochester but easily accessible by m:>to.r. Homos, primarily built for
summer occupancy, are of fair to large size and of moro than pleasing orehi teoture. Grounds, for the DX>st part, are spacious and well-landscaped, ovidoocing
excellent prido of ownership, In that portion of tho area which 1 ios in Grooco-,
dwellings are newer and even more attractive, but boar high spacial assessments,
· though th"e .neighborhood parks, storos, churches and schools, all are nearby. ~o
land is- slightly rolling; tho streets are winding and shaded. Primary drawback
is that thcro is scnrcoly any market :for those properties which have all been
built to ardor by the wool.thy at costs of $30,000 and roore. Occasionally, a. lot
solls :for -$5,000-$6,000. Future of the area is probably static.

Save for st•.. Paul :Boulevard and an oecasional side street, this is a. new specru.lative development of a good type. Homes are of medium size and exceptionally
attractive. Lots are a bit too narrow giving an air of overcongostion. The
land is :Q,igh and :flat and tho streets,. some of which are unpaved, are \vinding.
Churches are- present and both schools and stores tl.l'O found nearby. Transportation
is not of the best and it is some distruico out of the business and shopping area.
On properties located on \finona Boulevard there aro high special assessments from $500 to $800 per lot - •P~al>le ,xp to 1952,.

A sil'.lrul and now nrea recently opened llp but still lo.eking sewers, no.tor and ga.s.
Because of the inconveniGnce of location its appeal is alIOOst entirely limited
to :Eastman Kodak eII!Ployees who commute to the nearby plant in their own cars.
Terrain is flat. Thvellings are of attractive and varied architecture, well set
back from somewhat narrow and unshaded streets. Lota are rather small but
nicely landscaped. Pride of ownership is marked. Schools, churches and stores
are lacking, the nearest being in Area. C-6. Tb.ere is fair bus service. Future
for this area. looks IOOst promising.

The best tho.t remains of Rochester 1 a IIFifth .A.venue". On East Avenue ore found
very lo.rge rui.d beautiful homes (a little more nx>dern than those further west)
with extensive lawns which M'O well landscaped and maintainad. Thoso on tho side
streets are siightly smaller with properties not quite so extensive. Tho whole
atrrosphcre denotes wealth with its wide and shaded streets. The primary drawbacks are an alroost total lack of nnrket plus very high taxes. .Anyone who could
affocrd homos of this character would now prefer to be further out despite the
good transportation nnd all city facilities including schools, churches and
nearby shopping cantors. Because of this, future trend seems downwa:rd.

over the ex.tensive plain below. An exception, and not included above, are tho
dwellings on Norris, Nursery a.nd Hartson Streets whore prices run as lou a.a
$4000 and rents doi7ll to $35. Tho larger ond n:ore attractive homes ore fo1md :in
the vicinity of tho park. Size of plots is '7ell proportioned to size of dwolling,
nicely maintained and ovidGl1.cing pride of ounorship. ']hero are all city facilities and schools , churches and stores are found noa.rby. TranapoFtation is poor
and locution is not overly convenioot. 'lho area has probably reo.ched its peak
and should remain static for some time to como.

This area really constitutes a later continuation of Ea.st Avenue, Rochester• s
premier residential street. Dwellings on the avenue are veritable mansionsJ
with extensive grounds which are boautifully landscaped and kept up. !rhose (a
tho side streets are somewhat smaller and the plots not quite so big but, in
their way, just .as attractive. There is practically no market for the larger
pr.operties which, within the city limits suffer from high taxos, All city facilities are present. Schools, churches and storos are nearby. Transportation is
poor and the area is som0 distance out but everyone uses their own car. The
section is only about 60~ improved and, being in 'j;ho line of oxpansion, will
probably continue to improve.

Thero a.re actually two parts to this area. Tho first is east 0f Clover street.
Here, on winding roads and rolling land, have been 1I10re recently bu.il t magnificent
homos, no two of which are alike but all masterpieces. Grounds are extensive and
beautifully landscaped with la.ns, shrubbery and trees. Here, amid a suburban
atmosphere and overlooking two adjoining golf courses, reside the ,voaJ. thiest
of the present generation. Their homes never appear on the market, littlo for
salo or for ront. Tho second portion of the area. lies to the west of CJ.over
Street. This part suffers from heavy special assessments which have retarded
its gro,1th. Here the homes a.re smaller and not to be compared ,vith their neighbors, bu.t still attractive in their own way. The entire section is not eonven•
iently located uhich is perhaps an asset in i tsolf. Everyone usos a car for
shopping, ~ or school. There a.re a.1.1 city faeili ties. About 30% of the
land r001ain~ to be improved and the future seems dofini tely assured.

This is a very new and exceedingly e..ttractivo development carried on lal'gely
under the auspices of the ]bstman cro\7d,. Thougb. quite extoosive, it is entirely
composed of small inexpensive homes of 11raried but pleasing architecture. .Al thougi
tho land is low ond flat and lacks trees,. this is offset by winding streets and
nicely landscaped small front laws, ~ore are complete city facilities together
with neighborhood stores, an excellent school and churches. Transportation is
only foir ond it is a long wa;y to the center of the city but DX>st ovoryone uses
their O\m car. The 40i of the land whieh remains vacant will be rapidly improved.
It is an ideal area for those of moderate cirCUI!).stances~

In reality thet"e are two parts to this area - both equally geod. North ef the
railroad the a.t11X>sphe:re is sttburban and the land is low. Here is a small collection of imdest sized homes which have been built on fair sized plots and set back
from the street. South of the railroad the atmosphere is definitely urban with
winding streets and an excellent view from its hill tap. Im this portion there
is a group 0f new and attractive type of country homes. In the entire area there
are probaaly not more than 25 or 30 houses with loss than half of the land improved. It is so far out and isolated that no change or further growth is apt
t0 take place certainly in the immediate future.

Terrain rises from the river and is slightly rolling. Homes are not :new and of
an era when architeeturo was not particularly pleasing. tots are of fair size
so that there is ample space between d\7ellings which are set back from shaded
streets. :Both londscoping and pride 0f ownership aro good. Schools, churches
and stores arc present and factories which offer places of employmant are found
nearby. While thoro is good transportation, the area suffors somewhat from its
distanco from the hoart of the city. It lacks tho popularity enjoyed on tho
othor side of the river, but should not change much for some years to coma.
It is an oroa in which foreclosures wore high.

6. MORTGAGE FUNDS,

Originally this. area was largely truck: gwdens with an occasional old home save
on st. Pa:ul Boulevard where there were quite a few fairly large modern and substantial tl1})e houses. .A few years ago it became popular with apecuJ.ative
developers who have ill!Pl?oved large tracts with attractive small homes. Those
north of Couchman Ave. are somewhat cheaper in character than the others. ThoU&h
the rate of new construction has slowed up in the past year it still continues.
The terrain is high and flat and there aro all city facilities including schools.
Churches and stores are nearby. Transportation is fai:-. Principal criticisms
are that the lots are a bit too narrow, that the area is some distance out and
that bonded assessments are fairly high. However, it seems definitely on the
upgrade.

The terrain is high and levol and to the west overloaks a beautiful park.
Streets a.re nicely shaded though some are unpaved and without sowors. !!!hero are
schools and churchos. Stores oro handy. Transportation is fair but it is a
long way to tho center of the city. The area is hoioogeneou.s in the sense that
it is a desirable place in which to live, but there is a mixture of old and new
homes. For somo years it has been a fertile field with speculator.a who have
erected a great number of small, inexp<msive bu.t attractive homos. No less than
5 new· tracts havo boen opened up during the year and there ~ be danger af
evontu.al overbuilding.

This is a development which got awa;y to a bad start and was overburdened by the
weight of unpaid speeiaJ. assessments (1botl:I delinquent and not due). Tax sales
ma;r uJ. timately elear this "U;i>. The area is only about 20% improved and fairly
homgeneous comprising zoodest single-family h0mes which a.re not ov:erly attraetive. Wimble:!...)n street is slightly above the average. Dwellings are datachod
and set back from treeless streets. Lots are of medium size and net too well
cared for. The neighborhood has stores and both churches and sehools are to
be found nearby. !rranS])ortation is good and the area is oonveniently located.
The terrain is flat. Tho future depends entiroly upon the outceme of tho special
assessmonts.

This neighborhood is conveniently located on high, flat ground. It has all city

!rrruisportation is good. Tho area is composed of fair-sized singles of fair age
and are a li ttlo too old to 'be roo.J.ly attractive. L0ts are of good siz0 and
fairly well landscaped. Pride of ownership is qui to good. Streets are well
shaded. rt is not so new but still a desirable place in which to reside lllld
should remain so for some years to como. Not included. in tho above are a few
vory largo and very boautif,U brick homos with extonsi vo grounds on st. Paul

.A neighborhood which is not honx>genoous. Thore is a decided mixture both as to
size and desirability prevailing throughout with some above and others bol0\1 tb.e
general average. Both. Seneca Park\vay and Maplewoed Ave. ore distinctly better
o.nd here values run as high as $10,000. On Lake Avenue there aro a numbor of very
large and very old homes, once beautiful but having a prosont worth that is
questionable. In the main, d\1ollings are set back: from streets that are nicely
treed and located on fairly large plottago. Grounds are woll kept and there is
a good prido of ownership in evidence. All city facilities are present and places
of employment are conveniont. Transportation is @?Od. The future doos not look
too bright but ony do\mwnrd transi ticm should be slow. Foreclo suros in this area

This neighborhood, though still spar~o in spots, is devoloping rapidly and tho
varied and. oxcollent a.rchitocture will shortly warrant a first g:uado ratling.
Howovor, it still lacks s0wors and transportation is only fair though ioost of the
inhabitants have their own cars. Schools and churches are not far awa:y and
there arc small retail stores within the area. .Any now construction is restricted
to not less thml $4000, is being built on fair-sized lots which are nicely lond-·
eo_ap:od and in all displays an oxcellont appearance. The future of this area
appears decidedly on the upgrade.

Despite a fairly wide variation in the size of dwellings, this is nonetheless a
hoioogeneous area which, aJ. though not new, continues t0 hold its own largely
because of its somewhat inaccessible lecation atop a high hill an.d abutting a fine
park. Streets are winding and shaded. Set baclc fram them is a oollecti0n of
unusually attractive homes of varied but pl easing design. These pro]lorties are
,1ell maintained and there is every evidence of excellent pride of O\vnership.
There are complete city facilities.
Churehos, scho0ls and st0res are lacking but
found not far away. This area should retain its d:esirabili ty for some years te
come.

8. DESCRIPTION AND CHARACI'ERISTICS OF AREA: Rochester based on 85 sales $54.25
Originally this hillside land ( it drops to the south.) bore heavy tax liens which
t1ore foreclosed by the city. A fair portion has been bought up by spec~tive
dovolopers uho have recently erected. therca:i.o. number of intermediately priced
small homes of unusually o.ttractive and varied but pleasingly designed small
homes on fo.ir-sizod plots. Whilo the location is not convenient, this is offset
by tho beautiful park which adjoins on t,10 sidos. Thero are oll city facilities
but it is neeessory to go o. little distance for schools, churches, stores and
transportation. Tho future seems bright but tho area could not bo given a bettor
grading.for two reasons: (a) only ro% of tho lmid is improved and (b) there
remain a f m1 shacks within tho area. but a.t a fair distance from the now construction.

spil.endid golf eourses. Off Landing R<:>ad, they are very much Slllllller but attractive nono the less. At the juncture ef F.ast Avenue and E1.mwe0d Avenue is a small
collection of homes which is loss desirable and out of place. Eventually this

commuting is done by private car. Schools and neighborhood stores aro not for

The land is lovr and flat. The area lacks chm-Ghea bu:t bas small neigb.boFhood
stores. It is far from the heart of R0Ghestor and suffers from only faiir transportation. .All city fo.cili ties are present. It adjoins the Univorui ty 0f
Rochester and tho Municipal Hospital and is near fie Genesee Valley Park. The
dwellings are all of similar type i.e. smaJ.l and medium, singl&--family of roore or

lots of sufficient size so as to provont any air of overeongostion and display

~is area of rolling and partio.lly oood.ed land backs up on Roehostert s premier
golf club whicli adds to its natural sc.e nic attraction. It is not hozoogoneous
and only about 40~ improved~ Sin.co the eh&racter has not been dofini tely
establishod, it is not possible to grant the highest rating al though, so far,
that is what it deserves~ Improvements consist of a fe,1 small but very lovely
country estates and one or tv10 minor but exceedingly attractive developments
where pictUTesquo homos have been built on Ol"dor. It has a particular appeal to
those ,1ho \7ant to live in the country at some distance from the city and are
willing to go some distance for schools, cliurches or shopping. There are complo~
city facilities but the cost of their installation has resulted in high assessments ,1hich is retarding growth.

This flat area with treed streets suffers from age and infiltration of
a less desiro.ble elezrent gradually moving up from the south. Dwellings
are unattrnctivo, set back n little from the street and, though detached,
are on fairly narrow lots which gives on appcnro.nce of congestion. There
seems to be little or no pride of ovmorship. The e.reo. is quite conveniently
located o.nd has good tronsportntion. Thero o.re several lnrgo fnctories
offering eraployincnt including Hickey Froeman, Kellar Newman Thompson Co.•
Bastian Bros. ~.nd Hnllonea.ck Optical Company. All city fo.oilitios are
present including nlso schools, churohos a.nd stores. North Clinton,

Despite its age t!Us area still appeals to the better t:ype of daily
worker who seeks something a little above the i:,,verage. It is quite
homogeneou::; with dwellings set back slightly from shaded streets and
fair sized lots vihich prevent overorowding. Appearances ·are fair
indico.ting some degree of pride.

The : e are complete city facilities

and churches, stores and schools. Transportation is likewiSe good
with convenfonoe of loca.tion fa.ir. Tho lo.nd is fla.t. Statio is the
future in:iico.tion. Only plant of a.ny size is that of Ilex Opticril Coe

hom:>geneous neighborhood of substantial age which has been and should conti]J}Ue
to hold its own because of convenience to places of ~loyment and heart of the
ei ty. The land is flat and the streets are shaded. .All city facilities are
p!'esent including churches, stores, scheols and €,"00d transportation. Dwellings
are detached with small lawns in the front. De13ign is old .and unattractive.
Pride of o,v mership is but :fair. There are a few cheap type apartments on Lake
Avenue. Largest plant is that of Defender Photo Supply Co. Overhang is still
high. HOLC investment is greater in this area than in any other.

Dospito its sizo this area is homgeneous in that its composition is an intormingling of scoll ancl largo dwellings some of which are above and others bel0w
tho gonoral run of dosira,bility. El.mcroft Road as a wh0lo is definitely better
than tho rost. !mio ono-fa.mily clwollings aro fairly attracti vo but tho doubles
aro rathor unsightly. Both have boon built back from tho stroet mid not too
close togothcr. All city faciliti0s arc p:rosent as well as schools, churches
and neighborhood storos. !rb.ero are a few factories which afford employraont to
tho rosi<lonts, the largest being Consolidated Machine !l!ool Corporation. Transportation is gooc'r. but location only fairly convenion t to the heart of the city..
~ho area uill probably not decline any further for some years.

extensive londscoped la;ms and even an 0ecasi0nal stable which have begun to
doteriorato. Somo are still occupied by old and wealthy families. Others are
closed up. Not only is there no market for them but. they cannot evon be given
away because of high taxos. Evon a vaJ.uo for conversion purposes is oliminated
because of zoning res.trictions. !!!ho r0Illll.inder of the area is an intermingling

The land is high and gently rolling. !l'he eastern edge ends abruptly in a stoep
bank doscending to a beautiful park. Dospi to the inconvenience ef its location,
its natural attractiveness lends itself to excellent development. One developer
tried thi-s in. a g.Tondiose manner. He choso th.o entire northwest oor:ner, laid. out
fine wide ond winding stroots but built only about 15 largo and fine houses beforo
tho whole proposition blw up. !Jfuis yoo:r there havo been twe small developmtmts
(o:r:io on Landing Roo.d, the other on Blossom Road) of very attractive JIDdest sized
homes. Tho balonce of the area is spotted unfortunately with unattractive and
rather old houses. All told, not m:>ro throl 10% of the land is improved with an
indicated future of ovantu.ally becoming a first grade area. ~ero are all city
facilities and schools. Noighb0rhood stores are nearby. There are no churchee
and special assessments ore high. Transportation is only fair.

!fuis is a horoogenoous area of relatively small and quite unattractive ~orkin5\.,
men's homes. Though. not congested, lots al'e small. Streets are apt to be
narrow bu.t aro shaded, Pride of ownership is relativaly low. It is not particularly convenion t al though there are a f ow smru.l industries within the area.
However, transpor·i;ation is fairly good and it is not far to the canter of the
city. ~he terrain is flat but rises slightly in the south. All city facilities
are present as well as ample schools, churches and stores. In thtJ f1.1ture it uill
probably deteriorate from obsolescence mre than anything else.

!l'his is an area which reflects age and obsolescence, has an uninviting appearance
and an air of some conge,ation due to too narrow lots. Streets are a.pt to be
narrow, are treed and qui:te a few are dead and. Crossman Terrace is above th.a
average and entirely single family. T.he others are a mixture of singles and
do'll.bles with ,an oecasional 4.-family th;uown in.. These last 11a.tio:ned have purely
nominal values of $7000-10,000 with uni ts renting fel' approximately the same as
in the 2-fa.mily. Location is enly fairly convenient bU,t transportation is good.
Stores are present and schools and churches tp."e nearby. !fuere are all city
facilities. Future indicated trend is dowmvard.

!!!his is an area, about 00% developed, whieh should have been better improved.
Farly building was not of a particularly desirable type and this evidently
attracted more of the same variety. However, a few are above the average.
Present houses are detached and set in t~e center of medium sized lots. Those
in the upper brackets are not for rent. Th.el'e are all city improvements. Schools,
churches and neigh'bo:.chood stores a.re :nearby. Transportation is only fair. One
item which is holding the area down is the high bonded assessments.

slightly rolling and streets are treed. There are full city facilities and a
plethora of schools, ehurches and stares. Transpoit'tation is good. While hemogeneous, -there is a variety in size of dwelling, though all are of an unattractive

This is a small outlying and spettily develeped seetion which is eff the beaten

house in its center.. The greund is rolling and the streets are winding and
shaded. It lacks scheolst churches, stares a:nd sewers but is supplied with
water, gas and electricit~. It is inconven.iently lecated with poor transportation.
In fact, it is a wonder that anyone 1 ives there. The dwellings are cheap and

6. MORTGAGE FUNDS:

This is an area which is quite eld tmd co:ntains dwellings which are aJ.l (:}!1rl te
similar and of an unattractive design. From Highland Avenue nQrth it ill'J)roves
slightly. The houses are set back slightly from streets which are shaded and
the lots are sufficiently ,vide to prevent evereongestion. The land slopes seuthward. There are full city i~rovommcs· as \veH as chu.rchea, schools and small
stores. Transportation is .only fair and it is same distance frc:>m the heart of
the city. There are two principal objections to the orea - on one side is a
large cemet~ry and on .the other the large State lnsane .Asylum and the CQunty
Prison. However, quite a number of those euployed in these institutions like to
live here for sake of .convenience. For this reasc:>n the a.!l'ea should probably
remain static for some yea.rs any way.

to do so al though it is not to be classed as distinetly 11ha.zard.ous11 • Dw,el lings
are set back slightly from somewhat narrow streets and thore is small space
between. They are of a rather unattractive vintage. There are factories whieh
afford employment, the largest 'being that of Fashien Park as \vell as schoals,
churehes and stores. Transportation is good and location eonvenient. Appeal is
entirely to the labaring classes who cannot afford better.

A very old noighb0rhood whieh. though it still continues to decline, is far above
&.¼slum area. It is convonient to places 0f employment and t0 the eenter li>f the
city. It enjoys go o,d transportation. ~e land is flat and the streets are
shaded, ~ere aro ru.l city facilities and no lack of schools, chureh.es and stores.
There e.ra some industrial plants scattered througheu.t. It is hoioogeneous. It
suffers from encroachment of business and from obseleseence and the future trend
is downward. Houses are rather unsightly but are deta-ehed and set back from the
street. ~ere is alIOOst no pride of 0vmership.

This is a small but old and slightly congested neighborhood which has defi:ni tely
felt obsolescence and the infiltration of industry. Tho houses, wh.icl:l are quite
dilapidated looking and rather :unsightly, are set back just a little frem the
street. Lots are ra.ther narrow. There are all city faeili ties and schools,
churches and stores are nearby. • It is net a slum district but has 1 i ttle. to
recommend it save convenience ef lecatien and good transportation so that its
future is probably downward. It should be noted that Rundel Park is above the
average.

Negroes have come into tho area and tod..lzy it is tho poorest section of the en.tare
city. The iro st that con be said for it is that it is convenient. !l!he terrain is
generally flat and the streets are shaded. !l!here aro all ei ty facilities and
plenty of schools, stores and churches. Transportat"ion is g,'0od. Dwellings a.Fe
detached with srll£lll front iavms. Iiotw are of moo.ium size. Pride of ownership is

only nominal values or values for min. cost shelter. There are several :factories
in tho area of which the largest are Folmer-Gra.flox:, Kee Lox, and Lawyers Ccxrpera.tin Publishing Co.

This area is far better than a slum distriet. There is nothing partieularly
the matter with it other than that it is old and antiquated. It has simply
deteriorated into a relatively poar man's neighborh.o.od~ The houses are set back
a little from shaded streets. The lots are a bit narrow and not very well maintained. :But it is convenient and there a.re some light manufacturing plants
affording ell!Ployment. Tra.nsp0rtati0n is geed. Stores (al0ng Ma:nroe Ave.),
churches and schools a.re handy. There are all ei ty facilities. The land is
flat. :Because of age it will probably continue to deteriorate.
