In fact, a few shops in the Wedge moved there after Park Ave. rents became too much for them.	+ [[Image(southwedge_map.png, "The Southwedge Neighborhood :click to enlarge", 400, right, thumbnail)]] The South Wedge aka the South Wedge Urban Village is a triangular wedge of land in the south of ["Rochester"], bordered by the ["Genesee River"] on the West, and the Erie Canal (now ["Interstate 490"]) on the East. Traditionally an immigrant and working class neighborhood, it became run down in the 1970's and 1980's. As recently as about 8 or 9 years ago, it was considered a 'bad' part of town, but in the last few years neighborhood groups have helped encourage its growth. New businesses are opening up, a street life is developing and it's become one of the hottest new areas in the city to live, work and play. In 2007 the South Wedge area, Swillburg and the Highland Park area swept The City Newspaper’s Readers’ Choice Awards 2007 getting winning votes citywide for “best neighborhood” along with best coffee house (Boulder Coffee), Best Wine Selection (Solera Wine Bar), Best Happy Hour (Lux Lounge), Best Meal Under $10 (John's Tex Mex), Best Men's Clothing Store (Thread), Best Women's Clothing Store (Thread), Best Secondhand Clothing Store (Godiva's), Best Straight Bar (Lux Lounge), Best Park (Highland), Best Playground (Meigs Street and Linden Street), Best Chinese Restaurant (Ming's Take Out), Best Indian Restaurant (India House), Best Place for a Last Date (Mount Hope Cemetery),Best Outdoor Make Out Spot (Highland Park), Best Cure for Cabin Fever (Lamberton Conservatory), Best Movie Snuggle Buddy ("Princesss" the cat at the Cinema Theatre). As its reputation grows, so does its property values and community spirit.

- Despite being close to the ["University of Rochester" University of Rochester's] River Campus, it's not as popular of an area to rent in as most would assume. This means that many apartments have relatively lower rents, but more space and amenities than other areas in town. There are a decent number of rooms to rent in the area, very few studios, but 2 bedroom and complete houses for rent abound. Below is a short price list of 'average' rents for the area.	+ Many apartments have relatively lower rents, but more space and amenities than other areas in town.

The majority of homeowners take pride in the area, and it has a number of interesting shops and bars. On many streets, homeowners have created "painted ladies," houses of many colors like San Francisco. + + In May 2008, A statue of the city founder, Nathaniel Rochester, was unveiled in Nathaniel Square Park on the corner of Alexander Street and South Avenue. The statue, Rochester sits in reflection, was the work of sculptor Pepsy Kettavong. + + The South Wedge Farmers Market, open Thursdays from May through November, has becoming a popular meeting place for the neighborhood. Along with produce and flowers, the market features a changing cast of musicians and craftspeople.

- There are many advantages to living in the South Wedge/["UR"] area. The biggest advantage is the areas close proximity to campus. The UR/Strong area lying west of ["South Avenue"] and south of Highland Avenue down Highland Parkpast Strong Memorial Hospital is home to many young doctors and doctoral candidates and boasts 5-15 minute walks to campus. Nearly all of the rest of the South Wedge area is a short bike ride to campus or a short walk to the yellow line (["Bus 72"]) running across ["Alexander Street"] and down ["Mount Hope"] to McLean Street where is turns onto campus. This bus acts as a shuttle between ["Eastman School of Music"] downtown and the U of R River Campus and is free to U of R students! This area is well serviced by other city ["bus lines"] also.	+ There are many advantages to living in the South Wedge/["UR"] area. The biggest advantage is the areas close proximity to campus.

This area is well serviced by other city ["bus lines"] also. + + The second biggest advantage to living in the South Wedge area is relatively lower rents and more space and amenities for your money as compared to neighborhoods in the Park Avenue area. The South Wedge area has many rooms, houses, 1 and 2 bedroom apartments to offer. Rooms to rent in shared apartments range from $250 to $400 many with all utilities included. Most frequently you will find rooms to rent for around $300 with all utilities included. 1 bedroom apartments in this area range between $425 and $610 most with heat and hot water included. Typically a large 1 bedroom apartment would be priced at around $525 a month with heat and hot water included. Two bedroom apartments range from $550 to $750 some with heat included. The larger apartments are harder to get with utilities included, but they are out there and worth the search. Most commonly you will find large 2 bedrooms advertised for around $650 some with heat and hot water included. There are also many small 2-3 bedroom houses for rent in the area. Houses range between $500 and $1100 a month with no utilities included. The South Wedge area also has studio apartments for rent, but they are not as plentiful as in the Park Avenue area. The studios that you do find will range in price from $290 to $450 usually with all utilities included. + + Overall, while shopping for a place to live in this area, keep in mind the free U of R shuttle bus that runs along Alexander and Mount Hope and also the UR/Strong area that sits within walking distance to campus.
