About 19th
Ward
19th Ward, located between Genesee Park and the Erie Canal, is a historic and residential Rochester neighborhood with a park-lined river edge and a strong porch-and-tree-street streetscape. The neighborhood’s character concentrates around the Thurston Road and Genesee Street corridor, where corner shops, takeout counters, and long-running local storefronts set a steady, lived-in rhythm. Brick and frame houses, many with deep front porches, line curving streets that lead toward the Genesee River. Genesee Valley Park frames the southern edge with broad lawns and trailheads. The University of Rochester campus adds a collegiate backdrop and frequent foot traffic. Seasonal events and community programming often orbit the 19th Ward Community Association.
