CommutingRochesterians are fond of saying it takes at most only twenty minutes to get from any point A to any point B you choose in the greater metro area. And it's true, even in rush hour. The expressways can carry you from Scenic Village to the
Greater Rochester International Airport or any regional mall in twenty minutes or less.
City amenities such as restaurants, night life, theatre (
Geva Theatre), museums (
Strong National Musuem of Play,
Memorial Art Gallery), and sports (
Red Wings Baseball,
Rhinos Soccer,
Razorsharks Basketball,
Rochester Rattlers Lacrosse) also fall within that twenty-minute range. Not to mention more
golf courses than you can shake a putter at. The
Seneca Park Zoo is about fifteen minutes away.
The beautiful
Finger Lakes region, famous for award-winning wines, begins about an hour south of Rochester and is easily accessible from the NYS Thruway.
