About the Neighborhood

To simply call the structures in the Maplewood Neighborhood "houses," would be to commit a grave injustice to the incredible behemoths that are so prevelant in the neighborhood, especially along the grand Seneca Park Boulevard. Many of the homes still have pristine original gumwood trim, stained glass, and grand staircases. The neighborhood hosts the Maplewood Rose Festival every June in the rose garden in Maplewood Park. If you continue through the rose garden towards the river, and follow the trail south, you will find a magnificent gorge with a waterfall that Rochester Gas & Electric harnesses for energy. Many people travel into the Maplewood neighborhood from all over the Rochester metro area to attend Aquinas Institute and Nazareth Schools, a new Catholic school which combined the former Nazareth Schools with the Aquinas Institute, both of which have been institutes of Rochester since the turn of the 20th century.
