About Upper Mount
Hope
Upper Mount Hope, located between Mount Hope Avenue and South Avenue, is a residential and institutional Rochester neighborhood with leafy side streets and a campus-edge energy. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Mount Hope Avenue corridor near Elmwood Avenue, where coffee counters, casual eateries, and small storefronts meet steady foot traffic. Architectural cues lean toward early-20th-century houses and compact apartment buildings, with pockets of student-oriented rentals near the university. Highland Park frames the area with winding paths and seasonal color, while Mount Hope Cemetery adds a quiet, historic counterpoint. The Strong National Museum of Play and Geva Theatre Center sit nearby as cultural anchors that shape local routines. Transit lines and bikeable streets keep daily errands and nights out connected to the city’s core.

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.
