Line 25:	Line 25:
- With around 22,000 residents, the '''19th Ward''' in the Southwest quadrant is the largest ["Neighborhoods" neighborhood] of the city. The Southwest Quadrant is also known as ["Sector 4"], and contains 4 other neighborhoods in addition to the 19th Ward. 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"].	+ With around 22,000 residents, the '''19th Ward''' is the largest ["Neighborhoods" neighborhood] of the city. Due to its prominence, many people not familiar with the area confuse the 19th Ward with the ["Southwest Quadrant"] as a whole. The SW Quadrant, also called ["Sector 4"], actually contains five other neighborhoods. (["Plymouth-Exchange"] in particular is often mistaken for part of the 19th Ward.) This page covers only the 19th Ward proper.
Line 27:	Line 27:
- The 19th Ward is bordered, clockwise from its northern edge, by West Avenue, Genesee Street, Scottsville Road and the ["Erie Canal"]. The border area with ["Plymouth-Exchange"] is known as ["Brooks Landing"] and is connected to the ["University of Rochester"] ["University of Rochester/River Campus" River Campus] via a ["University of Rochester footbridge" pedestrian bridge].	+ The 19th Ward is bordered, clockwise from its northern edge, by ["West Avenue"], ["Genesee Street"], ["Scottsville Road"], and the ["Erie Canal"]. The southeastern portion is called ["Brooks Landing"] and is connected to the ["University of Rochester"] ["University of Rochester/River Campus" River Campus] via a ["University of Rochester footbridge" pedestrian bridge].
Line 29:	Line 29:
- 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 racial, 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. ["Aberdeen Square Park"] is a popular ["parks" green space].	+ The neighborhood is one of many tree-lined streets filled with one and two family homes and a scattering of small apartment complexes.

Line 31:	Line 31:
- As with the other major living areas in Rochester, the 19th Ward/["Plymouth-Exchange" PLEX] 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"] and the ["Greater Rochester International Airport"].

Line 41:	Line 41:
- While looking for a place to live in the 19th Ward/PLEX area, keep in mind the location of the ["University of Rochester footbridge" pedestrian bridges] as well as the Elmwood and Ford Street crossings over the Genesee, as these will be the keys to your commute to campus. On a bicycle nearly every location in this area is within a 30 minute ride to campus by means of either Elmwood Avenue or the pedestrian bridges. By car your commute should be only five to fifteen minutes.	+ While looking for a place to live in the 19th Ward, keep in mind the location of the ["University of Rochester footbridge" pedestrian bridge], the ["Elmwood Avenue" Elmwood] and ["Ford Street"] crossings over the Genesee, and the [http://www.rochester.edu/parking/options/Student%20Shuttles.html Gold Line] shuttle bus stops. On a bicycle nearly every location in this area is within a thirty-minute ride to campus by means of either Elmwood Avenue or the pedestrian bridges. The buses also have bike racks. By car your commute should be only five to fifteen minutes.
Line 43:	Line 43:
- UR students looking for shared housing with their fellow students might want to check out ["Roc Rooms & Rentals"], which provides rooms setup for students primarily in the 19th ward.	+ UR students looking for housing might want to check out ["Roc Rooms & Rentals"] and ["D'Alessandro House Buyers"], both of which offer houses and ["apartments"] for rent in the 19th Ward/PLEX area. + + (Note: The area directly across the river from the ["University of Rochester/River Campus" undergraduate campus] is often referred to as the 19th Ward. This is largely incorrect. East of ["Riverview Apartments"] is actually ["Plymouth-Exchange"] and this confusion causes mild annoyance to the residents.)
Line 46:	Line 48:
- 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.	+ The neighborhood has a bad reputation throughout much of Rochester and particularly on the River Campus of the University of Rochester.

Line 50:	Line 52:
- 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 mostly evaporated.	+ 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 in 2006-08.

Line 52:	Line 54:
- Investment by ["Rite Aid"], ["Unity Health System"] and particularly the University of Rochester and the City 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. Long deferred improvements to the roads and buildings along Plymouth Avenue, Genesee Street and the eastern terminus of Brooks Avenue have resulted in a marked improvement in the appearance of the neighborhood and the up to 18% increase in real estate values has remained stable through the 2007/2008 collapse of the national real estate market.[[Footnote([http://www.zillow.com/search/RealEstateSearch.htm?dg=dg2&addrstrthood=&citystatezip=14619#view=ver%3D1%26op%3Dsearch%26scen%3Ds1%26map%3D(Aw%3AAN77672146!As%3A43126251!Ae%3AAN77622942!An%3A43144869)%26params%3D(p5%3AAI0AM1500AJ)%26mode%3D(zoom%3A14!sortANdir%3Au!sortANparam%3Ax17)%26dg%3Ddg2%26citystatezip%3D14619%26loc%3Daddr Recent sales on Zillow.com])]]	+ Investment by ["Rite Aid"], ["Unity Health System"] and particularly the University of Rochester and the City 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" South Plymouth Avenue], especially during the latter half of the decade.

By far the most common housing you'll find in this area is large two-bedroom apartments taking up half of a two-family home. These apartments range from $495 to $650 a month typically with heat and hot water included. Rooms to rent in shared apartments are mostly between $250 and $350 a month with all utilities included. Unique to this area are the many small 1-3 bedroom homes to rent ranging from $500 to $1100 a month some with all utilities included! Studio apartments are hard to come by in this area, but you can find them and they will range in price from $400 to $500 a month with some utilities included. 1 bedroom apartments are also not as plentiful in this area, but they are out there and they range in price from $400 to $550 with some utilities included.	+ 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 their 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.

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; mortgages are typically less than $600 a month - and that's after taxes and insurance. These make excellent starter homes; after the mortgage payment, there is still plenty of money to save for the future or 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 routine maintenance.	+ These make excellent starter homes; after the mortgage payment, there is still plenty of money to save for the future or to get your hands dirty and improve the house.

- 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 racial, 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.	+ 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 19th Ward area has many rooms, houses and 2 bedroom apartments to offer. By far the most common housing you'll find in this area is large 2 bedroom apartments taking up half of a two family home. These apartments range from $495 to $650 a month typically with heat and hot water included. Rooms to rent in shared apartments are mostly between $250 and $350 a month with all utilities included. Unique to this area are the many small 1-3 bedroom homes to rent ranging from $500 to $1100 a month some with all utilities included! Studio apartments are hard to come by in this area, but you can find them and they will range in price from $400 to $500 a month with some utilities included. 1 bedroom apartments are also not as plentiful in this area, but they are out there and they range in price from $400 to $550 with some utilities included.	+ The 19th Ward has many rooms, full houses, and two-bedroom apartments to offer.

- 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; mortgages are typically less than $600 a month - and that's after taxes and insurance. These make excellent starter homes; after the mortgage payment, there is still plenty of money to save for the future or 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 routine maintenance.	+ 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.
