14621 Area Crime Alert/Activities |
Group 14621 is a large neighborhood in the northeast quadrant of Rochester. It is primarily contained within the boundaries listed above with the exception of a long tendril that runs along the Genesee River all the way to Lake Ontario. This part contains Seneca Park, known for its spectacular Genesee River gorge, as well as the Seneca Park Zoo. Another attraction is the El Camino Trail, popular with bicyclists and known for its beautiful Wall\Therapy murals. Conkey Cruisers, a neighborhood bicycling program, hosts a ride here during the summer.
Often described as a "mosaic," Group 14621 is famous for its racial and cultural diversity. This includes the International Square plaza, as well as La Avenida, a stretch of North Clinton that forms the backbone of the city's largest Latino (mostly Puerto Rican) settlement. Another mini-neighborhood is the Vineyards Area.
Still, although nice pockets exist, large portions of Group 14621 continue to struggle. Some of its streets are even considered among the most dangerous in Rochester.
The 14621 area code includes a portion of Irondequoit as well. East Ridge Road, which marks the boundary between Irondequoit and the city, is a major commercial hotspot. Group 14621's Wal-Mart is located on the corner of Hudson and East Ridge, touching the Irondequoit border.
