It also is a big shopping hub and is home to Rochester Institute of Technology. Some of the school's HOF members illustrate how long the population has been in the district: https://www.rhnet.org/Page/207 (Lee, Warfield, Southall, Thompson, Mayo, Bullard and Norwood)

Good school if you have a daughter that likes to run track, by the way. https://12thman.com/roster.aspx?rp_id=5335

So, if you are a little bit flexible in terms of the criteria, it could open things up even more.

In fact, this is a video of a basketball game between the two suburban schools:

Just to add, besides being very close to Lake Ontario, which has multiple beaches in the area, you also have this state park to the south only minutes away: https://parks.ny.gov/parks/79/details.aspx
You also have some of the Finger Lakes in the area, which has a big wine scene(if interested) and there is the Erie Canal as well. So, you have quite a few outdoor amenities nearby as well.
