Monroe County contains a relatively wide range of towns, ranging from Pittsford to Greece to Honeoye Falls. These towns allow for a mix of more rural land to more urban living towards the city of Rochester. Travel throughout the county is relatively easy, though there is not a great deal of public transportation available.
I love living in Monroe! There are so many diverse places to dine in such as the local diner, there's mutiple Chinese/ Japanese restaurants, along with Mexican, Italian, and even American restaurants! The community overall is very safe and police are constantly around to secure that safety. It is a very close knit community with a clear understanding of how to better the community through a lot of interaction with the people. There are many places for children, teens, adolescents, and seniors to have a fun at. The education at the school district is exquisite. My family moved here just for that reason! However, although there are many dining areas, there are not many places in which the youth can enjoy activities such as bowling, or ice rinks, which would help a lot of kids move around more.
Monroe County is very diverse within its school districts. Many of the schools have great teachers and some great programs in learning in school. I would like to see more improvement on the city schools in this county because no only o they suffer academically but finically too.
