Strengthening Community

Discover Charlotte

Community by
the Water

Nestled along the shores of Lake Ontario, Charlotte is a neighborhood full of history, community pride, and natural beauty. From the lively Ontario Beach Park and historic Dentzel Carousel to our thriving local businesses and family-friendly events, Charlotte offers something for everyone. Whether you’re catching a summer concert by the shore, braving the Polar Plunge in February, or enjoying a quiet walk along the pier, you’ll find a community that welcomes you like family.

Celebrating Community

Since 1964

Since 1964, the Charlotte Community Association has worked to keep Charlotte safe, vibrant, and welcoming. As one of Rochester’s oldest neighborhood groups, we bring residents and stakeholders together to share ideas, solve problems, and celebrate what makes Charlotte unique. Our mission is to preserve Charlotte’s maritime and cultural heritage while building a strong future as a destination to live, work, and visit.
