Living in Greece, NY
Greece is one of the largest towns in Monroe County, with more than 96,000 residents, and it has a lot to offer! It stretches from more than eight miles of Lake Ontario shoreline in the north down to the Erie Canal in the south, with established neighborhoods, newer subdivisions, and everything you need for everyday life in between. If you want lots of options at a range of price points, Greece is a great place to start.
Neighborhoods in Greece
Greece is big, so it really helps to think about it in areas.
The lakeshore along Lake Ontario, including the areas around Long Pond, Round Pond, and Edgemere Drive, has water-view and waterfront homes with a relaxed, beach-town feel.
North Greece offers a mix of established neighborhoods and newer subdivisions, with a more spread-out feel.
West Greece sits near Braddock Bay and the Parma line, with access to some of the best nature spots in the county.
The Ridge Road corridor in the center of town is the shopping and convenience hub, with neighborhoods close to The Mall at Greece Ridge and plenty of restaurants.
The south end near the canal puts you close to Greece Canal Park and the Erie Canal trail.
Across Greece you'll find ranches, split-levels, capes, colonials, and newer construction, which makes it a great town for first-time buyers, move-up buyers, and investors alike.
Schools
Greece is served by:
- Greece Central School District
- Hilton Central School District (parts of town)
- Spencerport Central School District (parts of town)
District boundaries don't always follow town lines, so always check a specific address. Not every Greece address is in Greece Central, and I'll confirm the district before you make an offer.
Things to do in Greece
Braddock Bay Park is a 375-acre town park that's part of a much larger fish and wildlife management area. It's one of the best spots around for birdwatching, especially during the spring hawk migration, and it has great Lake Ontario views.
Greece Canal Park is a 577-acre county park with trails, a dog park, playgrounds, fishing, and access to the Erie Canal.
Town parks and the Town campus. Greece has 17 town parks, and the Town campus has a spray park, playground, pickleball courts, and an ice-skating rink.
The lake. Between Braddock Bay, the ponds, and the marinas, there's plenty of fishing, boating, and kayaking. Ontario Beach Park in Charlotte is right next door, too.
Shopping and dining. The Ridge Road corridor and The Mall at Greece Ridge cover just about everything you need.
