About the Neighborhood

The Edgerton neighborhood, named for Hiram Edgerton, an early Rochester mayor, is located in the Northwest quadrant of the city. The area was once home to many of Rochester's most prominent families, who built their estates on the East side of Lake Avenue, overlooking the incredible gorge and river vistas. One of these Edgerton families was the family of Margaret Woodbury Strong, a famous Rochesterian whose incredible doll and dollhouse collection evolved into what is today The Strong National Museum of Play (located in the Center City). As a result of its history, the Edgerton neighborhood is rife with incredible houses built from 1830 into the 20th century, many of which are now split into multifamily rental dwellings. With its many restaurant and grocery options, the Edgerton neighborhood offers its residents convenient city living. The Edgerton neighborhood also has two small parks: Jones Square Park, and Edgerton Park.
