PROPERTY OVERVIEW — ±100 ACRES RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT LAND
Henrietta & Brighton, NY | For Sale
This ±100-acre offering presents one of the last large-scale residential development opportunities in the Brighton/Henrietta corridor—an area experiencing sustained demand for housing, limited supply of developable land, and strong surrounding demographics. The property is located along Edgewood Drive near French Road, tucked within an established residential area that offers both privacy and immediate proximity to retail, recreation, schools, and major highways.
The acreage spans two municipalities, each with zoning that supports residential development:
±60 acres — Town of Henrietta (R-1-15 Single-Family Residential)
Intended for detached single-family homes. Typical lot size minimum is 15,000 sq. ft. (subject to subdivision approval). The district permits traditional subdivision layouts and may allow cluster or conservation-style design to enhance open space.
±40 acres — Town of Brighton (Residential)
Designated for single-family housing consistent with existing neighborhoods. Final density and lot sizes are determined during concept plan review with the Planning Board. Brighton is one of the most sought-after residential markets in the region.
Together, the combined acreage offers flexibility to pursue a phased development, joint venture with a builder, or a long-term land banking strategy.
Strategic Location
1200 Edgewood Drive
Henrietta & Brighton, NY 14618
(Monroe County)
The property is ideally positioned:
2 minutes to French Rd. / Winton Rd. retail corridor
5 minutes to I-390 & I-590
8 minutes to University of Rochester / Strong Memorial Hospital
12 minutes to Downtown Rochester
Nearby national retailers, services, and grocery centers include Wegmans, Target, Walmart, Home Depot, CVS, and multiple banks and restaurants. The site benefits from being surrounded by established neighborhoods without sacrificing convenience or access.
Site Characteristics
±100 contiguous acres of wooded land
±2,470 ft. of Erie Canal frontage, offering natural amenity and recreational potential (walking paths, viewpoints)
Level to gently rolling topography suited for residential development
Multiple potential access points via Edgewood Drive and neighboring streets (subject to municipal review)
The canal frontage creates a unique opportunity for premium lots, community trails, or designated green space within the subdivision plan—a feature not commonly available at this scale.
Utilities
Public utilities are available nearby—including water, sewer, electric, and gas. Buyers should verify availability, routing, and capacity during planning. Municipal representatives have expressed openness to development consistent with zoning intent.
Development Potential
Based on zoning and site configuration, conceptual layouts suggest potential for 200–300 single-family homes, depending on:
Lot size
Road layout
Cluster development
Green space allocation
Canal-front conservation or recreation area
Given demand trends and current price points for new construction, the property offers developers an opportunity to deliver a product that is in very limited supply within these municipalities.
