Looking for a room/place for rent

I agree with @heartfelt01 -- there is no reasonably priced housing in Rochester, even renting a room can be outrageously priced sometimes. The closer you are to downtown, generally, the more expensive it gets. Not sure what your price range is, but I currently live at Timberland Heights in NW Rochester in a 1 bedroom and really enjoy it here. Expect to pay around $1K a month here though for a 1 bed by the time your utilities are included (Our rent is $877, plus water/sewer/admin fees, plus $55 in internet, a $15/month pet rent, and $50-80 in electricity (also your heat/AC)) . They're very prompt to follow up maintenance requests, which I appreciate since I haven't had that from any other landlord.
I've heard The Gates is still pretty sketchy, so I wouldn't recommend living there.

Hello, I just noticed your post. I've lived in Rochester for about 17 years now. I've recently purchased a home in Slaterly Park and finishing my lower level to rent come August 2020. I'm wondering how best to get the word out to research/ Mayo students I will have a 1/2 bedroom newly remodeled apartment available? Do you have ideas?
Yeah, I'm starting to get that feeling things are more expensive closer to downtown. I thought things were expensive from the big city I'm from but it's a bit ridiculous here. Thanks for your advice, will definitely keep these in mind. I would consider a roommate situation but my hours vary and I kind of like my own space to spread out too
