What’s your neighborhood like? We’re dying to know! We’re determined to turn this blog from its current humble beginnings into Rochester’s one-stop shop for all rental market information. Heck, we wouldn’t mind becoming a one-stop shop for rental information in every city. With our aspirations set so high, here at the Newdigs blog headquarters, we’re finding ourselves with an awful lot on our plates. That’s why we’re reaching out to you, the Rochester community, to help define our amazing towns and neighborhoods. Tell us what there is to love about the South Wedge, the Maplewood Neighborhood, Swillburg, Corn Hill, Fairport, Webster, and the list goes on and on and on. When we’ve got at least 2-3 descriptions of any given neighborhood, we’ll put the descriptions up to a vote, and let you readers decide which description of your neighborhood most aptly describes the place you love.

So, get your pens ready… set… and tell us in approximately 200-500 words what kind of place your hood is. Is there a hoppin’ nightlife scene, or does sleepy-time come early in your town? Are there lots of familiar chain restaurants, or are you more likely to find more ethnic or more family-owned options? Are there any parks or museums, or other outdoor or cultural activities? And of course, what’s it look like? Is yours a neighborhood with older properties that have been converted to apartments, or was pretty much everything around you built within the last 20 years?  (Just in case you’re wondering what 200-500 words looks like, this blog post is about 300 words.)

We’re so excited to see what you come up with, Rochestarians! You’re helping us create an amazing resource for folks who are looking to move to Rochester, but don’t know which town would best suit them, and we’re sure that they’ll be almost as grateful to you as we are!
