Quick, name a city that has not one, but two world class museums, nationally known theater performances, tons of great places to eat, oodles of green outdoor spaces, several sports teams, a great night life, affordable housing choices in a variety of neighborhoods and locations, and some of the best educational opportunities around. Where did you think of? New York City? San Francisco? Miami? Boston? Not even close. The amazing city that has all of these things and more is a place that you have probably never heard of, but once you have visited it would be crazy of you not to visit. Rochester, NY is like a hidden gem, tucked away on the banks of lake Ontario it might be easy to miss this city nestled between decaying rust belt towns of Buffalo and Syracuse. Despite the woeful fate of other cities in the region, Rochester has been able to move and grow into the new millennium by reinventing itself as a young city on the move.
This accomplishment has helped Rochester attract some of the best and brightest young professionals, because Rochester has some of the best colleges in the northeast. Rochester Institute of Technology, and the University of Rochester are both world class private colleges nestled in the heart of not too big, not too small Rochester. Just outside the city one can find attractive public college options in Monroe Community College and SUNY Brockport. These colleges all come together to offer nationally ranked, and surprisingly affordable options to the cities younger generations. This has helped Rochester avoid the graying that other area cities have seen as educated professional leave the area for opportunities elsewhere. Since there are so many educated young people in the area, Rochester also has a number of impressive theater companies, and other cultural draws.
