Even though we don't have children, school district is still something we should probably keep in mind for resale, so thank you for bringing that up.
I'm also wondering if it is also a matter of where you are in the city. For instance, that home is in the Southeast Quadrant of the city, which is the nicest part of ton and pretty "popular" due to having some walkable neighborhoods that are in that section(Park Avenue, SouthWedge, Swillburg/Highland Park, Monroe Village, Upper Monroe(where that listing is located), etc.). So, there may be other factors that come into play in regards to the city.

So maybe the school district would not pose much of a problem for resale? Maybe that part of Rochester (Upper Monroe neighborhood) is desirable enough that there will be strong buyer demand despite the school district.

The bolded part, as it is in an area of the city that is generally middle class and desirable. Here is some information that illustrates what I am referring to: https://rocwiki.org/Southeast_Quadrant
The definition of the quadrant appears to be a bit too expansive, but the general sentiments apply.
^The first of those 2 is in the same SE Quadrant neighborhood as the previous home.
The second is in a small town/walkable village and a very good school district. You still are close enough to shopping in Victor and Henrietta too. So, it is a nice looking home in an area in demand.
It's interesting to compare the last 2 that I posted because both are 4 BR, 3 bath, 2 car garage, with similar sq footage, and asking prices in the upper $300,000s. Even though the styles are very different the 2 homes were actually built only 13 years apart - 1929 and 1942. Location is obviously a major difference, with one being within the city of Rochester and the other being pretty far from the city.
The one in Rochester shows tax amount for 2021 was $12,762.
The one in Honeoye Falls says tax amount for 2021 was $8,248 (and this one has a larger lot size than the other property.)

Something to consider is that the property taxes listed are before exemptions and will depend on the homeowner. Even within a neighborhood, property taxes can/will vary for those reasons. So, what is shown isn’t necessarily what you would pay.
Honeoye is pronounced phonetically like Hon-e-oy(silent e) or think of the word Honey then oy.
