Rochester Real Estate… It’s All Wet!
By Tom Dunn | October 9, 2008
One of the best things about Rochester real estate is something you almost never think about, unless you live in an area where it’s scarce. I’m talking about fresh water.
Rochester is situated within easy driving distance of nearly 40% of the WORLD’S fresh water supply. FORTY PERCENT!!! That’s staggering, and you need to consider the implications.
The day may come, in some parts of our nation and world, when water is traded like gold. I’m not saying that’s likely, simply possible. But it won’t happen in Rochester.
Sure we have ice and snow storms, and long cold winters. One thing we’ll never need to deal with is a shortage of fresh drinking water.
Our main water source, Hemlock Lake, is one of New York’s Finger Lakes. It’s huge, fresh, and clear. Not to mention that “other” lake, Lake Ontario. lying right at our doorstep. The smallest of the Great Lakes, Ontario is still larger than all but two of the rest of the World’s lakes.
Yet another reason why real estate in Rochester NY is a sound investment vehicle.
