Very good! If you value education and you are involved in your childs education, he/she will do as good at Rochester as they would anywhere else. Both of my kids are doing great, scoring high on state tests, great GPA's, very good SAT's, both will graduate with at least a semester of college credits. The educational opportunities are there for your child if you want it!!

"Friendly, quiet neighborhood where neighbors look out for each other!! We love it here and are so happy we moved to this area. Groceries shopping is close as can be! Not far from Cranberry if you need a lot of shopping done! Chippewa is close as well. It’s a great location! I would recommend this area to anyone that wants a neighborhood feel without the headache of worrying about your things going missing. "

"Love the space to roam, and depending on the size of dog, overall timing, and familiarity with basic rules of nature, you may wander into some wildlife. Most of which, is benign."
