Welcome home to this well-maintained 3-bedroom, 2-bath home in a convenient NE Rochester neighborhood. With all three bedrooms located on the same level, the functional layout is perfect for everyday living. The spacious lower-level family room provides plenty of room to relax, entertain, or gather with friends and family. Recent exterior updates offer added curb appeal and low-maintenance living for years to come. Ideally located just off North Broadway, you'll enjoy quick access to downtown Rochester, parks, shopping, restaurants, schools, and other everyday amenities.
Northern Heights, located between Elton Hills Drive NW and 55th Street NW, is a residential and park-adjacent Rochester neighborhood with mid-century streetscapes and wooded ravines. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Elton Hills Drive NW corridor near 55th Street NW, where local errands and a steady weekday rhythm cluster around small storefronts and service stops. Housing leans toward ramblers and split-levels with mature trees and generous setbacks. Side streets feed into pocket parks and trail links that frame daily walks and bike loops. A short drive connects to the Douglas State Trail and the Quarry Hill Nature Center for longer outdoor stretches.
