Neighborhood Association
[WWW]Home Acres

Built primarily in the 1920s, Home Acres was one of the original "streetcar suburbs" of Rochester. The Landmark Society featured the neighborhood in a tour during the summer of 2007. The neighborhood is almost entirely residential, featuring a mix of architectural styles including colonial, Tudor, and Craftsman style homes, with sidewalks, distinctive lamp posts, and mature trees along the streets.

The Home Acres neighborhood association organizes several family-oriented events each year, publishes a newsletter and directory, and serves as a point of contact between local government and neighborhood members.
