Rochester, NY is a city loved by its residents, but can sometimes fly under the radar to those outside of the area. The US News listed Rochester #13 on their list of best places to live for Quality of Life in 2018, a list which took into consideration “affordability, career opportunities...daily commute, access to quality education and healthcare, crime rates, and general well-being.” There are many reasons we love our city and why #WeLiveHere.
