About the Neighborhood

If where you live is all about location, then Irondequoit certainly has a lot going for it. Irondequoit is nestled between Lake Ontario to the North, the City of Rochester to the South and West, and the still waters of Irondequoit Bay to the East. Not only are there miles of waterfront in this town of over 50,000, but it's blessed with striking topography that is highlighted best in the massive Durand Eastman Park. For many visitors, Irondequoit begins where 590N ends. There you find yourself arriving at the historic Sea Breeze amusement park by the bay where it enters Lake Ontario. Sea Breeze has been in business since 1879 and features 4 roller coasters, 8 water rides, tons of games and of course the carousel, which is a hand-carved replica of the original 1915 carousel, which burned down in 1994. Although much of the architecture you'll see in Irondequoit is 1950s - 1970s single family housing stock, and plazas built in the same eras or later, there are some amazing modern and classic gems hidden in the hills and valleys of Irondequoit.
