Notes

Pittsford is the most upscale of all of Rochester's suburbs. While it is not the wealthiest (Mendon is wealthier) it is a close second. Rochester is not a superficial city though, so unlike other upscale areas in this country, Pittsford does not feel pretentious. Anyone will feel welcome in the town. The Village of Pittsford is a must stop when visiting the Rochester area. It is an idyllic setting along the Erie Canal.

School District

Pittsford Central School District
There are two public high schools in Pittsford: Pittsford Sutherland High School and Pittsford Mendon High School.
Pittsford Sutherland and Pittsford Mendon High School are ranked in the top 100 school districts in the nation, according to Newsweek. (2007, #39 and #78, link has been lost.)

Location:

The town and village of Pittsford are southeast of the City of Rochester. From downtown Rochester, follow Monroe Avenue south past the Upper Monroe Ave Neighborhood, through Brighton and into Pittsford. Like a lot of Rochester's eastern suburbs, Pittsford started out as a small canal town

Attractions:

The canal area has been well preserved and maintained, and public parks are a great place to wander around and enjoy nature. Biking along the Erie Canal is a good way to spend a spring or summer day, and there are a lot of nifty shops, restaurants, and artistic outlets. The Schoen Place area on the canal is a great place to visit on the weekends to relax and feed the ducks and pigeons.
