Wadsworth Square, located between Monroe Avenue and South Clinton Avenue, is a residential and walkable Rochester neighborhood with a compact street grid and a pocket-park centerpiece. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Monroe Ave–S Clinton Ave crossroads, where corner storefronts, cafés, and late-evening eateries set a steady street-level hum. Wadsworth Square Park reads as the local front yard, framed by mature trees and closely spaced sidewalks. Nearby blocks lean on early-20th-century houses and small apartment buildings with deep porches and brick detailing. The Little Theatre and Writers & Books anchor the cultural calendar, while The Owl House signals the area’s independent dining streak.

R-2
Medium-Density Residential District
The R-2 Medium-Density Residential District provides a mix of housing choices. The inclusion of single-family residential, two-family residential and multifamily residential provides a diversity of housing choices while the bulk and density regulations maintain the lower-density scale of the neighborhoods. These residential areas are located proximate to neighborhood-scale shopping and service opportunities. The district requirements are intended to preserve, promote and protect a quality of urban residential living characterized by unobstructed front yards, pedestrian-scale streetscapes and buildings scaled and designed to be compatible with the neighborhood.
