What is Rogers Orchard?
Rogers Orchard Neighborhood Association was formed in 2016 in an effort to connect roughly 300 homes in the area formerly occupied by the Hosea Rogers Fruit Farm as an organization for community engagement, fellowship, safety, and well-being. It is the goal of the organization to connect the immediate area's residents, form relationships and bonds, and elevate the quality of life. Rogers Orchard is located in the Western portion of the Town of Irondequoit, in Monroe County, New York.
The beautifully unique Rogers and Daley Boulevards sport shady median plantings and lend an established sensibility to this area. The neighborhood also boasts a myriad of unique, but cohesive properties across Thorndyke and Seville Drive, and carries both the grandeur and architectural variety of segments of Titus Ave and St. Paul Boulevard. Once more well known for horse racing, this part of Irondequoit was originally home to a popular hotel and 1-mile race track built by Ezra and his brother Hosea Rogers and operated from the 1850s until 1873. Developed in spits and spurts, this neighborhood offers a variety of housing styles in tastes indicative of their time of construction.

What is (and isn't) a Neighborhood Association?
A Neighborhood Association is a formally organized group of community stakeholders (residents, business owners, faith community etc.) who work for the betterment of their community. An association is open to all members within the boundaries of the recognized neighborhood without bias and has as a regulated and predictable meeting pattern which is advertised in an appropriate manner to all members of the community. An association must have an organizing document ratified by the group which outlines the process by which leadership is elected and finances are recorded.
A Neighborhood Association is not an exclusionary group. Associations have broad mission statements which are able to support and reflect the changing needs and wants of the residents over time. Neighborhood Associations are not municipal government entities, desires and choices of the associations are not, and should not, be considered to be reflective of the Town of Irondequoit. Associations are not block clubs, a neighborhood association is comprised of a larger area of streets and homes, without the burden and regulation commonly found within a homeowner's association.
