Rochester is a clean, friendly, and safe suburban area. I have grown up and lived here most of my life. It is small enough to make a lot of friends and connections, yet big enough to experience something everyone likes. There are many great options for food and grocery stores including trader joes, whole foods, kroger, meijer, target, as well as a costco and sams club near by. There are quite a few parks and trails that are great for walking or biking. There is a vast selection of shopping that is in close range which I really enjoy.
Rochester is a great place to live! I love the downtown and community they have created. There are many ways to get the most out of living in Rochester, and access to their parks and community events have been very enjoyable.
I love living in the city of Rochester, Michigan! Rochester offers a great community to grow up as a child in. The downtown of Rochester is not too busy and populated, but it still offers a fun small city vibe that I have loved for my time being here. Rochester is packed with many small businesses, so, living there, one gets to understand what it is like being part of a tight knit community.
