What is a Neighborhood

Association?

A neighborhood association is the officially designated, recognized organization for a specific geographic location. Unlike town home associations, which are legal entities, neighborhood associations are organized to build social cohesion. See the requirements below to start an association.

The benefits of a

Neighborhood Association

  • Included on our map of neighborhood associations, as well as on RNeighbors.org with a static page with boundaries, mission, and contact information.

  • Connections to City/County departments as needed, such as Public Works, Police, and Community Development.

  • Eligible for our Neighborhood Project Grants, as well as additional RNeighbors resources and guidance.

  • Social connections throughout your neighborhood build community, increasing safety and happiness.

  • Have a presence and a voice as Rochester grows. Your neighborhood can be involved, not simply have projects built up around you.

  • Every two years, you are eligible for ten 18″x 24″ plastic yard signs with your neighborhood association name and meeting information.

  • Receive neighborhood related news and access to the Neighborhood Toolkit.

  • Invited to the Council on Neighborhoods meetings.

Do you currently have an active

neighborhood group that is not registered?

We’d love to have your neighborhood included in our list. Registration is free and simple, and benefits are listed below. Neighborhoods work with RNeighbors to determine their association’s boundaries when forming.
Please, fill out the registration form below, if interested.
We also provide neighborhood association guidelines for successful community organizing.
