The Neighborhood
NOTA is Rochester’s arts district, a diverse cultural hub that attracts creative people and ideas.

Characterized by both art and the adaptive reuse of existing space, NOTA is home to many of the city’s cultural institutions, as well as a variety of unique studios, shops, restaurants, and services supported by the Business Association (NOTABA).
Walk anywhere in NOTA and you’ll discover many choices for urban living, from stately Victorians to new construction full of modern amenities, and modest rental units to luxury lofts.
