About Highland
Park
Highland Park, located between Mount Hope Avenue and South Avenue, is a historic and park-centered Rochester neighborhood with a landmark arboretum and hillside views. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Highland Park Reservoir and the curving paths nearby, where joggers, dog-walkers, and picnic blankets share the lawns under tall pines. Streets feature early-20th-century homes and apartment buildings with porches, bay windows, and mature street trees. The Lamberton Conservatory anchors the park with glasshouse greenery and seasonal displays. The Highland Botanical Garden adds a quieter loop of labeled plantings and shaded benches. A short drive north, the Memorial Art Gallery and the George Eastman Museum extend the area’s cultural rhythm.

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.
