Living in Irondequoit, NY
Irondequoit is one of my favorite places to show homes because it has so much character packed into one town! It sits right between Lake Ontario, Irondequoit Bay, and the City of Rochester, so you're minutes from downtown but surrounded by water and parks. If you love the idea of being near the lake without being far from anything, Irondequoit is worth a look.
Neighborhoods in Irondequoit
Irondequoit is made up of established neighborhoods with a lot of personality.
Sea Breeze in the northern part of town sits along the bay and lake, with a classic summer-town feel thanks to the amusement park, waterfront restaurants, and bay access.
Summerville and Rock Beach are near the lakeshore and the Genesee River side of town.
Point Pleasant is in the northeast near the bay, and Bayview sits along the west shore of Irondequoit Bay in the southeast part of town.
Orchard Park, built on a former apple orchard north of Empire Boulevard, and Culver Meadows near the 104 and 590 interchange are classic established neighborhoods.
The Titus Avenue and Culver Road areas are central, close to shopping, the library, and quick routes into the city.
Most of Irondequoit's homes were built in the 1950s through the 1970s, so you'll see a lot of ranches, capes, and colonials on tree-lined streets, plus select waterfront homes near the bay. Older homes have great bones, and I always encourage buyers to pay close attention to inspections on roofs, furnaces, and basements.

Irondequoit is served by:
