About York

York sits in the scenic Genesee Valley of western New York, offering a quiet country lifestyle surrounded by rolling farmland and open skies. The community is spread across several small hamlets like Piffard, Retsof, and Greigsville, each adding to the town's rural character. It offers plenty of room to spread out, while keeping residents just a quick drive from the shopping, dining, and conveniences in neighboring Geneseo.

One of the town's most famous landmarks is the Abbey of the Genesee in Piffard, an active Trappist monastery known throughout the region for baking Monks' Bread. Traveling to work or running errands is straightforward thanks to State Routes 36 and 63, which link up with Route 20 and Interstate 390. This makes for an easy commute into Rochester and quick trips across the Finger Lakes, all while keeping the peaceful pace of valley living.
