Hey folks, I grew up here but left for a while. With a population of 210K, Rochester is a mid-size city. The parks and outdoor areas are a huge plus. The weather takes some getting used to. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting. Cost of living is definitely rising, but still manageable. Property taxes are high but you get good services. People here are genuinely friendly, not just surface-level. The weather takes some getting used to.
