msbelle- the area around the medical center is nice, but is more expensive, I think.
Amy- the housing prices in Rochester are generally low in the city and higher in the suburbs (but no where near other places prices) The city schools have a reputation for being very bad (although there are really good pockets), so it is harder to find a house in the city with kids.
ETA- the medical center and the university campus are right next to each other- so there is not too much difference.

I need this fabric for my pink garage/laundry room, right? [link]

Sophia, those are great. So inexpensive compared to other markets.

On Day Five of workmen installing fiber-obtic cable in my neighborhood. I wish they and their noisy jackhammers would Go Away. Especially as I have a low-level migraine this morning.
Those houses are great, Sophia and the prices are unreal.
However, the taxes. *gasp* Crazycakes. The suburb's taxes are close to twice what we're paying.
