neighborhood-hero.jpgROC the East End
Your East End.
Rochester’s East End runs from Main Street east along East Avenue to Alexander Street: theaters, galleries, coffee, dinner, and late nights, all within a walk. 50 Charlotte Square sits right in the middle.
Walk. Bike. Ride.
Leave the car in the garage.
A block from Main Street and East Avenue, beside the Inner Loop’s redeveloped green edge, with RTS transit and I-490 minutes away. Most days you won’t need the keys.
Bike-first
Secure garage storage, then straight onto the city’s bike lanes.
Transit close
RTS routes and the downtown Transit Center a short walk away.
Downtown, one block
Main Street employers, courts, and offices are a stroll, not a commute.
I-490 in minutes
When you do drive, the highway is right there.

A gym at 15. Chicken at 37. Coffee and vintage at 89.
Charlotte Street is a short street, and more of it is useful this year than last. Here is the block in house-number order, with your front door in the middle of it.

Near the Eastman School of Music
Practice at home. Perform around the corner.
The Eastman School of Music and Kodak Hall at Eastman Theatre are on Gibbs Street, about a quarter mile from 50 Charlotte Square: a walk of five to seven minutes.
A soundproof practice room
In the building, for musicians and anyone else who needs to make noise without making enemies. About the room
Concerts on foot
Kodak Hall, Eastman’s recital halls and The Little Theatre are all within walking distance, so a late concert ends with a short walk home.
Room for the big cases
One space in the secure garage comes with every home, an elevator ride from your door, for the days the instrument goes by car.
