The living units in each duplex are separated by a garage, and each residence has a red brick porch, white columns, vinyl siding and a shingle roof.   All of the homes have one story, 1,285 square feet, two bedrooms and two baths, and rents are $1,440 per month (plus utilities) with a one year lease.   Included in the rent are snow shoveling, lawn care, landscaping and exterior maintenance.  Every unit comes with a great room with cathedral ceilings, a gas fireplace, a screened porch, bay windows, a gourmet kitchen, a washer and dryer, a security alarm with an emergency response system, a remote garage door opener, air conditioning, a non-slip tile foyer and ample storage.  There are also no property taxes to pay!  Call (585) 225-7923 for more information.

Amenities are not overwhelming, but there is a lovely clubhouse with a gourmet kitchen and a great room with a large screen TV and a fireplace.  Residents also enjoy a fitness center and computer center (all included in the rent).  Generally speaking, though, Mill Landing does not offer the clubs, activities and facilities that many larger retirement communities have; retirees here sometimes have to make their own fun.

Luckily, Greece, where Mill Landing is located (even though the mailing address is in Rochester) receives rave reviews as a great place to live and offers plenty to do (as does Rochester, population 1 million in the metro area).   There is an active senior center with 45 different programs, a historical society, a mall with a Penny's and a Macy's, a library, seventeen parks and a crime rate well below the national average.  Part of the city borders Lake Ontario which provides opportunities for sailing, fishing, strolling and more.  While rents at Mill Landing may be considered on the higher side, Greece has a cost-of-living that is 9% below the national average which helps offset some of the housing cost.  

For many, a drawback to retiring at Mill Landing is the weather, although many retirees enjoy cooler, even cold, climes.   Winters months bring up to two feet of snow each month, and temperatures are often in the teens and 20s. Summers are short and cool with temperatures in the 60s and 70s.  Humidity ranges from 60% to 80%.
