Well, I wish the traffic conditions were better in the sense of filling in potholes that have been there for years, as well as just paving the roads more in general. In addition, any construction project that takes place, even for a very small building, takes years and years to build. The schooling is amazing, however the taxes and affordability overall is pretty expensive, no matter where you go. I feel there should also be more more restaurants nearby, due to the selection in Pittsford being very limited. Many people, including me, have wanted a local diner in Pittsford for years, but no one has stepped up to the plate yet. Overall though, other than those minor grievences, I feel Pittsford is an outstanding place to grow up in.

Pittsford is a beautiful and safe town. The schools take great care of their students and there are many community opportunities for all ages. It is super family friendly with many parks and activities. The town is safe and public service is perfect! Amazing place to live!
I have been a resident of Pittsford, NY for the past 18 years and I wouldn't change this for the world. It has provided me with an incredible experience throughout early childhood and into my current young adult years. The support system available is an invaluable feature of the beautiful Rochester suburb. Educationally, the area pulls many young families because of the high standard for academics and excellent graduation outcomes for students. If given the opportunity, I will absolutely return to Pittsford to raise a family so my children can reap the benefits of the support and academic excellence this town has to offer. Pittsford exceeded expectations in providing me with the necessary building blocks for creating a strong foundation for my future success. I could not be more thankful to my parents for this opportunity.
