Review of Rochester, New York


It depends
Star Rating - 5/20/2006
If you're married with kids, this might be an ok city for you. But for singles of all ages, opportunities are extremely limited here! Most young people leave upon graduation from college as the economy is poor and weather and social/night life are dismal. But I know plenty of families who really love living here.
