This 3-Unit off of Monroe Ave is a great money making opportunity! It's got great bones, including a metal roof that's only 10 years old with a 50 year transferable warranty! With separate utilities, off street parking and a large front porch, here's a great opportunity for a turnkey investment! Don't let this one slip! Delayed negations on file Tuesday, May 12th @ 12pm.
Lock 66, located between the Genesee Riverway Trail and the Erie Canalway, is a waterfront and industrial-chic Rochester neighborhood with canal-side paths and repurposed brick-and-beam spaces. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the canal lock and towpath near the Genesee River, where cyclists, anglers, and patio tables share the water’s edge. Genesee Brew House, High Falls Distillery, and the Rochester Contemporary Art Center act as cultural anchors with a strong local imprint. Former mill-era structures and modern infill sit beside river overlooks and pocket greens. Footbridges and trail spurs stitch together the canal, High Falls, and downtown blocks. The pace shifts from daytime trail traffic to evening drinks and gallery hours.

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.
Permitted uses
Include but are not limited to:
Religious facility
