I can't believe how the housing values have skyrocketed there. I grew up in East Irondequoit, in a house that my parents bought in 1960, for $16,500. The house was 8 years old, at that time. 40+ years later, my mother developed dementia, and had to move into assisted living. We sold the house in 2005, for $92,400.
The new owner fixed up a few small things, and lived in it for 3-4 years, and sold it for $110,000. That 4th owner is still there, but I recently saw, in the "real estate transactions" section of the newspaper, that the house next door, sold for $132,000....an older house with fewer amenities, and only a single car garage, where our former house had a 2 car garage.

Yes, Irondequoit is a hot market.
Unfortunately, there is East Irondequoit and West Irondequoit. There is a difference. I don't understand why Sea Breeze isn't a thriving neighborhood.
East Irondequoit is still a good/solid SD, whose high school is ranked among the top 25% of high schools nationally according to US News and World Report. Eastridge HS also has the International Baccalaureate program.
