About the Neighborhood

Sitting atop the North end of Canandaigua Lake is the Victorian era city of Canandaigua with a population of roughly 11,000 people. The historic part of town features 19th century brick commercial buildings lining Main Street, with the beautiful county courthouse at the center. For blocks in every direction architecture buffs can roam the neighborhood appreciating the vast array of homes dating from the earliest parts of the 1800s through to the Great Depression. The most famous example of this residential eye candy is the Sonnenberg Mansion and Gardens, a true Queen Ann style mansion set on 50 meticulously maintained acres. Once the private home of a NYC banking magnate, it is now a public museum and can be toured May through mid-October. To many, the city serves as the capital of Western New Yorks' Finger Lakes wine region. The largest wine and spirits distributor in the world, Constellation Brands, is based here and their fortunes helped fund the CMAC Performing Arts Center. CMAC is one of the premier outdoor music venues in the state. In Summer 2011, CMAC will host B.B. King, Kenny Chesney, Lynryd Skynyrd and Ray LaMontagne concerts. Bordering CMAC is Finger Lakes Community College with nearly 7,000 students, who add excitement to the local nightlife. Whether you're looking to rent in a home, managed apartment community, or looking for a cottage on the water Canandaigua has it all.
