A vibrant mix of young professionals, progressives, and working class households makes the South Wedge an eclectic and creatively evolving neighborhood.  Bisected by bustling South Avenue, the Wedge offers housing options ranging from pre-Civil War cottage-style homes to condos in renovated school buildings. The South Wedge is one of Rochester’s long standing neighborhoods, home to two preservation districts, and holds some of the oldest houses in the city as well as renovated historic multi-family housing such as the Ellwanger-Barry School, which is now condominiums. In addition it boasts some of the newest developments like Edge of the Wedge and Erie Harbor.
