About Rush, for anyone moving there

Rush is a rural town at the southern edge of Monroe County, counted as a suburb of Rochester. The 2020 census recorded 3,490 residents. It borders Henrietta to the north, Mendon to the east, Wheatland and Caledonia to the west and Avon to the south. The Genesee River forms the western town line, and Honeoye Creek crosses the middle of town from east to west before it joins the river at West Rush. Rush was formed from the town of Avon in 1818 and covers just under 31 square miles, almost all of it land. The name is credited either to the rushes growing along the creek or to Dr. Benjamin Rush, one of the founding fathers.

Interstate 390 runs through the town, with Exit 11 serving State Routes 15 and 251. The hamlet of Rush sits in the northeast part of town, and the other named hamlets are Five Points, Golah, Industry, Manns Corner, Meadow Wood, North Rush and West Rush. Industry is home to the Rochester and Genesee Valley Railroad Museum. The Lehigh Valley Trail follows Honeoye Creek in the bed of the former Lehigh Valley Railroad and is a popular walking route. Veterans Memorial Park offers fishing, and the Rush Public Library has been open since 1914. Public schools are part of the Rush-Henrietta Central School District.

Housing in Rush is spread thin. The 2000 census counted 1,300 housing units across the town, an average of about 43 per square mile, so most moves here involve a detached house on its own lot rather than an apartment. Many homes sit on rural roads between the hamlets, with the creek and river valley shaping where houses were built. A move into Rush usually means loading a car or truck in one driveway and unloading in another, with a stretch of I-390 or Route 15 in between. The Lehigh Valley Trail and Veterans Memorial Park tend to be the first places new residents explore once the boxes are unpacked. Stackable totes with lids sit neatly in a vehicle for that kind of trip and stay dry if the weather turns.
