The Rochester Rundown

Moms of the Rundown

This one's for the women who raised us 💛 In this special Mother's Day episode, we sit down with our moms to talk about what it was really like raising us in Rochester—the places they loved, the memories that stuck, and the moments they'll never forget. From favorite local spots to behind-the-scenes parenting stories, you'll hear a mix of nostalgia, honesty, and plenty of laughs. We get their perspective on how the city has changed, what made those years so special, and (of course) what we were actually like as kids. It's heartfelt, a little chaotic, and full of the kind of stories only moms can tell. Whether you grew up here or are raising a family of your own, this episode is a reminder of how much the little things—and the people—shape where we call home.

We Lost a Bet… So This Happened (Our First Video Episode!)

This is how we settle disagreements in real estate… Welcome to our FIRST video episode of The Rochester Runndown! A friendly bet didn't go as planned, and let's just say… things got messy. If you've never tuned into an episode before—start with this one. Watch till the end, it will be worth it.

First time buyer & Spring trends

In this episode, we're talking spring in Rochester and how it connects to the way we live—and what we want in a home. We dive into the mindset of today's first-time buyers and why many are taking a more intentional approach in this market. Plus, in our "Sold or Not Sold" segment, we debate outdoor living spaces—must-have or something we don't use as much as we think?

Defying Gravity in Rochester

In this episode, we celebrate the excitement of Wicked at the Rochester Broadway Theatre League and explore why this Broadway favorite continues to resonate more than 20 years later. We talk about the show's powerful themes of identity, reinvention, and "defying gravity," and how the buzz spills into the city — including a local spotlight on Village Gate. Plus, we connect the Wicked phenomenon to a real estate design trend making a comeback: wallpaper. Once misunderstood, now bold and intentional — proving that sometimes what's labeled "too much" just needs the right moment. 💚

Love Is in the ROC: Valentine's Events, Hygge & a Winter Escape

In this episode of The Rochester Rundown, we're sharing what's hot in the ROC for Valentine's Day—Galentine's at MAG, Silent Disco at Montage, a Valentine's cocktail class, and a fun Kids' Night Out option for parents. We also break down local lender grant programs that could help buyers with down payments and closing costs—especially first-time buyers. Plus, in "Sold or Not Sold?" we debate the cozy design trend Hygge, and we wrap with a winter-perfect ROC recommendation: Lamberton Conservatory, your tropical escape in the middle of February. 💛
