This page covers only the 19th Ward proper, for more information on the general area, see the page for ["Sector 4"].	+ With around 22,000 residents, the '''19th Ward''' in the Southwestern quadrant is the largest neighborhood of the city, which is often called ["Sector 4"]. Many people not familiar with the Southwest area of the city confuse the two. This page covers only the 19th Ward proper, for more information on the general area, see the page for ["Sector 4"].

- The 19th Ward is an area of many tree-lined streets filled with one and two family homes and a scattering of small apartment complexes.

The neighborhood prides itself on its ethnic and economic diversity; university professors, students, city officials, and some of the cities poorest families all live in the 19th Ward. You will even find a religious compound and a retirement home in close proximity, both on Thurston Road.

- You wont find commercial hot spots such as ["Park Avenue"] or ["South Wedge"], in the area, but the 19th Ward does have a commercial center with a strip of neighborhood stores on Thurston Road running through the heart of the area. In the words of one resident, "We can live without boutique stores!" The motto of the neighborhood association is "Urban by Choice!"	+ As with the other major living areas in Rochester, the 19th Ward/Corn Hill area is well serviced by the ["RGRTA" city bus system] and comprises three exits on ["Interstate 390"] (17, 18B and 19). It is close to ["RIT"], the ["University of Rochester"], ["University of Rochester Medical Center"], ["St. Mary's Hospital"]. It is also bordered by ["Genesee Valley Park"], the ["Erie Canal"] and ["Genesee River"].

In the words of one resident, "We can live without boutique stores!" The motto of the ["19th Ward Community Association" neighborhood association] is "Urban by Choice!" However, Thurston Road, ["Chili Avenue"] and Genesee Street each have commercial centers with ["restaurants"], ["bars"], mechanics and some shopping.
Line 10:	Line 11:
	+ ["Jim Dalberth Sporting Goods"] on Genesee Street is one of the better sporting goods stores in the Rochester area. ["Menezes Pizza"] on Chili Avenue and ["Natural Vibes"] on Thurston Road are popular dining options. While the closest grocery store is Wal-Mart in neighboring ["Gates"], ["Caribbean American Grocery"] on Genesee Street is an interesting place to stick your head in.
Line 16:	Line 18:
	+ Most of the homes were built 1880 - 1940 and were originally intended for the working professionals of Rochester, the doctors, lawyers, dentists and the like. As such, most homes have maintained at least some semblance of architectural heritage. Oak floors and Gumwood trim are very common, although previous owners may have painted or carpeted over them and new homeowners may have to replace a lot of outdated carpeting, tile and/or paint. There is relatively little turnover in real estate in the neighborhood so prices tend not to fluctuate very much one way or the other. Most properties in good condition range from $45,000 to $90,000 and offer 1,200 to 1,800 square feet of living space. These make excellent starter homes, because after the mortgage payment, there is still plenty of money to get your hands dirty and improve the house. Corn Hill offers a mix of older and newer homes which tend to be larger and slightly more expensive, but they typically require no work beyond normal maintenance.
Line 24:	Line 27:
	+ == A Bad Reputation == + The neighborhood has a bad reputation through much of Rochester and particularly on the River Campus of the University of Rochester. Much of this stems from ["gangs"] that claimed territory on Thurston Road, Genesee Street, Chili Avenue and Arnett Boulevard in the 1980's and 90's. However, the Rochester Police Department cracked down on them and all of the major gang violence ended in 1997 with a series of high profile arrests. + + Since then, the community association has helped organize a neighborhood watch and a group of citizens monitor the city's criminal courts to ensure that verdicts are fair, but also benefit the safety and security of the neighborhood. The ["NET"] office on Genesee Street is also available to all residents, including renters, to ensure that city housing codes are maintained. And the city government has partially funded a number of improvement projects to improve the storefronts of businesses. + + The last major hotspot for violent crime was the corner of Brooks Avenue and Genesee Street, by the pedestrian footbridge, where UR students were occasionally mugged. As a result of increased police patrols and development of the ["Brooks Landing Project"], this problem has evaporated. + + Investment by ["Rite Aid"], ["Unity Health"] and particularly the University of Rochester have also driven a small increase in the value of real estate since 2000, spurring additional improvements, particularly on Brooks Avenue, Genesee Street and Plymouth Avenue, especially during the latter half of the decade.
