Edgerton, located between Lyell Avenue and Ridge Road, is a residential and industrial Rochester neighborhood with compact blocks and rail-side corridors. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Lyell Ave and Dewey Ave crossroads, where corner markets, auto shops, and takeout counters set a steady, street-level rhythm. Early-20th-century two-story houses and small apartment buildings mix with light-commercial strips and warehouse backdrops. Edgerton Park adds a green pause for courts and open lawn. The nearby Genesee Valley Greenway and Erie Canalway Trail frame the area with long, linear routes. Community touchstones include Rohrbach Brewing Company, the Rochester Public Market, and the Susan B. Anthony Museum & House.

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
