Rochester NY. Please tell me about it... [View all]

Last edited Tue Aug 6, 2013, 08:23 PM - Edit history (1)

I may have to move there. Hubby may be transferred to manage offices in Boston, Albany, and Rochester. We've been told it would probably be best to live in Rochester.

So, what's it's like? Winters, summers, etc. Cost of living. Cost to rent (cuz I'm not selling my house here).

Pros, cons.

Someone please tell me about it. I'm not thrilled with the prospect of moving. Delaware isn't flashy but it's home to me and mine...so...

I would second the Albany option. Rochester is fairly conservative, even in regard to it's campuses. adirondacker Aug 2013 #5
