Ontario, NY Homes for Rent

Ontario, NY is a growing lakefront community situated outside of Rochester. Originally a small farming area, it has developed into a quiet suburb with a lower cost of living compared to metropolitan Rochester, partly due to tax subsidies from the R.E. Ginna Clean Energy Center power plant. Employment opportunities are available at the power plant and an industrial center around Dean Parkway. Residential areas feature spacious lots and a variety of home styles, including Colonial Revival, ranch-style, bi-level, and New Traditional homes, often on full-acre or multi-acre forested lots. Casey Park offers community-oriented programs, sports leagues, and craft workshops, while Thompson Park and Bear Creek Harbor provide boat launches for motorized vehicles. The Ontario Golf Club features an 18-hole course open to the public. Heritage Square Museum preserves historic buildings and hosts small events throughout the year. Dining options along State Route 104 include local favorites like Konstantinou’s Restaurant and Heintzelman’s BBQ Pit. Ontario is approximately 20 miles from Rochester, with the Newark-Wayne Community Hospital also about 20 miles away and the Fredrick Douglass Greater Rochester International Airport around 30 miles away.
