Here are some facts about our new neighborhood, The South Wedge...
In a Landmark Society survey of a portion of the neighborhood, over 200 homes were noted to have historical significance. On most South Wedge neighborhood streets, you will find an eclectic mixture of housing styles and a diversity of people, young and old and of several racial backgrounds. Most of the neighborhood's buildings and homes are either mid-19th century vernacular or one of the many Victorian era variations. In the recent years,
several new buildings have been erected that are 
architecturally compatible with the pre-existing structures. Adjacent to South Wedge is one of the Rochester's finest elementary schools as well as Highland Park, Highland Hospital, Genesee River, The beautiful Mt Hope Cemetery and The Mt Hope Botanical Gardens.
This neighborhood has maintained much of its skilled craft worker-artisan background, resisting the pull of gentrification. South Avenue and Clinton Ave, with its urban mixture of small, independently owned shops, quality restaurants, and neighborhood services, have remained the neighborhood's central business districts for many years. While a few wholesale and manufacturing enterprises are located here, most of the shops are retail, offering everything from basic needs to luxury items and services.
