A vibrant, walkable, and architecturally cohesive neighborhood consisting of twenty residential units, including eleven fee-simple townhomes, nine of which include ground-floor accessory dwelling units (ADUs). Each unit will be available to households earning no more than 60% of the Area Median Income (AMI)—providing a rare opportunity for first-time homebuyers to build wealth and stability in the heart of the city.
Each 2,085-square-foot townhouse includes a 1,545-square-foot main residence and a 540-square-foot ADU. The ADUs are designed to generate rental income, support intergenerational living, and provide flexibility for aging-in-place or home-based work. Two of the townhouses, without ADUs, will feature garages and bonus space to meet varied buyer needs.
To reinforce neighborhood connectivity, the subdivision is configured into three rows of townhouses oriented toward Union Street, Charlotte Street, and Pitkin Street. The design preserves a green central commons, creating shared open space while ensuring active, pedestrian-friendly streetscapes consistent with the Rochester 2034 Comprehensive Plan. Parking is consolidated in a landscaped lot accessed from Pitkin Street, minimizing curb cuts and enhancing urban continuity.
