Atlantic Avenue is a continuous yet disjointed route that runs between the City of Rochester all the way to Wayne County. From North Winton Road in the city's Browncroft neighborhood to Qualtrough/Clark Road in Penfield it is called Browncroft Boulevard. Atlantic/Browncroft is commonly used to commute Rochester and its eastern suburbs.

The total length of the complete road, including Browncroft Boulevard, is approximately 15.2 miles.

Atlantic Avenue has its western origin at the intersection with University Avenue in the heart of the Neighborhood of the Arts. Here you will find the iconic Flatiron Building. The triangular corner of Atlantic and University serves as outdoor seating for businesses during the warmer months. Overall, this is a very pleasant part of the city.
