I grew up in Greece, NY. Growing up I enjoyed that I had plenty of neighbors in our neighborhood. I could walk or bike to many places, and the schools were decent. There were also a lot of sports opportunities. However as I have grown up, I notice some changes that could make Greece better.
Overall, Greece needs to be more diverse. It is predominantly Caucasian, and not as inclusive as it should be. There are also a lot of nursing homes that are being built. Instead of building so many, Greece should create more resources and opportunities for young professionals. Young professionals leave the area, because there aren't as many opportunities here after students graduate.
In terms of infrastructure, Greece is behind in keeping up with its sidewalks, and having safety measures like bike lanes for people to use.

In Greece, you will see great public schools and a huge variety of stores and restaurants. Not to mention all of the things you can do here! The majority of the area is very family friendly and town oriented. The town is also pretty close to downtown Rochester which makes endless opportunities.
I find Greece to have a calming presence which the city (Rochester) lacks. It also has a wealth of stores and places for recreation and entertainment. So much so that I have little need to travel into the city, but it is still close enough that I can if I need/want. Though a change I would like to see is more investment in our education system, particularly in our high schools.
