Monroe County
Gates
Gates is directly west of the city, a compact residential town built out mostly after World War II. Its biggest practical asset is location: it sits between the city and the western suburbs with quick access to I-490 and I-390, and the Greater Rochester International Airport is just across the town line.
It is a quiet, affordable town without a traditional village center; most daily life runs along Chili Avenue and Howard Road.
