Major Neighborhoods in Rochester
Rochester is known by many nicknames, like "The Flour City" and "The Flower City" to name a couple. But the most well-known is "World's Image Center", granted by being the founding city of several famous photography companies, and you can still take a tour of where Kodak was founded at the George Eastman Museum. You can see more of the city's history when viewing the old industrial buildings clustered along the Genesee River and Lake Ontario. Or if you're more interested in the present and live entertainment, catch a Rochester Rhinos soccer game at the Rochester Community Sports Complex, or a concert at Photo City Music Hall. Before you make the move to Rochester, check out our list of local movers. The pros have the experience and knowledge to get you smoothly to your new home.
Park Avenue
Park Avenue is one of the city's most popular neighborhoods, especially for dining and shopping. Virtually everything is within walking distance, including the Rochester Museum and Science Center and the attached Strasenburgh Planetarium. Being able to stroll around is even better when you can window shop, enjoy the area's historic homes, or opt for outdoor seating at local favorites like Blu Wolf Bistro and Funky Cow Café. In fact, there's even an annual Summer Stroll through the neighborhood, featuring artists and specials from local merchants. If you're already planning the walking route you'll take from your new home, also plan to hire local movers. They know the area like the back of their hands, and will use that know-how to make the process a breeze.
South Wedge
About five minutes south of downtown lies South Wedge, a neighborhood with a history in the jazz music scene. The shops here are as unique as they are varied, so if you prefer buying local above all, this is a great place to be. Hedonist Artisan Chocolates sells, well, chocolate, along with ice cream sourced from local dairies and fruits. Or you could visit The Little Button, a hand-crafted goods store where the products are all made by local artists. Or if you're into DIY cooking, the South Wedge Farmers Market has fresh produce and spices from local vendors for you. Sounds like a fit? Then take some of the stress off the process by hiring local movers. You'll be glad you left it to the pros!
Highland Park
Highland Park is named for the 150-acre green space that sits at the neighborhood's southern end. The park itself is something worth talking about, as it doubles as an arboretum and has over 500 varieties of flowering plants. In fact, there's an annual Lilac Festival, which hosts live music and a 5-10k run on top of offering a chance to enjoy all the flowers. But there's plenty to enjoy outside of the park too, like the specialty milkshakes at Highland Park Diner, a traditional American diner complete with counter seating and a neon sign. Whether it's the flowers that drew you to Highland Park or something else, know that local movers and their expertise can help make your moving day experience completely painless.
Corn Hill
Corn Hill is the city's oldest residential neighborhood, located right on the banks of the Genessee River. If the idea of living on the riverfront is already exciting, then the Genessee Riverway Trail will be an even bigger perk. The 24-mile trail runs directly through the neighborhood and connects it to other popular parts of the city, like the University of Rochester. Rather stay in one spot? Lunsford Park is a beautiful green space with flowers and a historic gazebo that occasionally features live bands. The neighborhood also boasts the Corn Hill Art Festival, a summertime event that draws in over a quarter million visitors. So if you're moving during that time, hire local movers who know what areas to avoid so you don't get trapped in those crowds on moving day.

The guys I hired Did a a great job. They were friendly and courteous. They even saved me money by being able to fit all of my two bedroom stuff into one pod!! Thanks again guys!!
The workers were great! Hard working, very respectful, and they were very careful with our property. We would definitely use them again and are recommending them to others!
We needed help last minute with unloading a UHaul and were so grateful to be able to easily book Making Moving Easy. Jordan and Trevon were awesome, and we hope to work with them again during our next move!
I cannot thank the guys enough for all their hard work. I underestimated the time it would take to load the truck and they kept going until it was packed! The attention to detail packing the truck for our long distance move was outstanding. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
The two gentlemen arrived on time and made quick work of unloading the truck. They were courteous, efficient and professional and took care with boxes and furniture. I would absolutely hire them again.
Richard & Brody did a great job loading my POD. They were on time, efficient, courteous and very professional. I was impressed with the job they did and would highly recommend them.
Top tier work. Both workers were incredibly respectful with great attitudes. Didn't hear any complaints even though the moving pod was a good distance away. Quick and efficient service.
Dream Team! Sage and Trevon were truly amazing. Professional, thoughtful, kind and conscientious. They did a great job and totally exceeded all expectations. Thank you so much for the help!!

Joe and Shyheen were amazingly helpful and made me feel comfortable even in my chaos of still packing. They were respectful and kind and accommodating of my feisty kitty. Made my move so easy!
The movers arrived on time and were done well within the two hours. It was raining off and on and yet no mess at all in the house (they brought a hall runner and I had paper down on the hardwood floors). They even helped swapping an interim mattress for one we hauled in the truck. They were very professional and a joy to work with. Extremely happy and would hire HP3 again.
