About
Browncroft
Browncroft, located between Winton Road and Culver Road, is a residential and garden-focused Rochester neighborhood with early-20th-century homes and a signature springtime lilac canopy. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Browncroft Boulevard and Winton Road corridor, where corner shops, cafés, and everyday errands create a steady street-level hum. Brick Colonials and Tudors line curving streets, with deep setbacks and mature trees shaping a calm, walkable feel. The annual Lilac Festival at nearby Highland Park sets the seasonal rhythm. Local pillars such as The Little Theatre, The Public Market, and Artisanworks add culture and weekend rituals beyond the blocks.

R-1
Low-Density Residential District
The R-1 Low-Density Residential District is intended to maintain residential areas at relatively low densities. The R-1 District is a distinct urban area that is characterized predominantly by owner-occupied, single-family detached and attached homes but often contains a diverse mix of other preexisting higher-density residential uses. Each R-1 neighborhood is unique in character, composition and scale. The district requirements are intended to preserve and promote neighborhoods characterized by unobstructed front yards and pedestrian-scale streetscapes and to protect against undesirable uses and residential conversions.
Permitted uses
