Join the Opening List →Rochester, known as the Lilac City, became a city in 1891. It grew as a woolen and shoe mill town on the Cocheco River, with shoe making its dominant industry by 1880, and that work shaped villages such as East Rochester and Gonic as well as downtown. Its housing today is varied, and it is sized differently from Portsmouth's.
The city includes the villages of East Rochester, Gonic and North Rochester. East Rochester is a former mill village about 3 miles east of downtown, on the Salmon Falls River, which forms the border with Maine.
About 17.5 percent of homes were built in 1939 or earlier, and about 34 percent of occupied homes are rented. Compared with Portsmouth and Dover, more households here own their homes, and fewer deal with a lease calendar.
Three bedroom homes are the most common size at about 42 percent of housing units. About 51 percent of units are single family detached and about 16 percent are mobile homes. That points many households to the second or third row of the Seacoast price table, and mobile homes are priced by their bedrooms, bathrooms and square footage just like any other home.
Mobile and manufactured homes have their own cleaning details. Vinyl wall panels, narrow halls and lightweight fixtures want mild products and a soft cloth. In older mill era houses, the priority shifts to painted trim and wood floors. Damp wipe old sills and stairs, because the EPA says homes built before 1978 are more likely to have lead-based paint, and never sand or scrape.
NOAA normals for Rochester average 51.13 inches of precipitation a year, which includes rain, melted snow and the wet stretches of spring and fall. Entry floors take that on all year, and more so in winter. A stiff mat outside and an absorbent one inside the main door make a real difference.
A bi-weekly Recurring House Clean fits many family homes here, beginning with an Initial Deep Clean that reaches baseboards, window tracks, fans and vents. A One-Time Deep Clean suits a single reset, perhaps in late spring. A One-Time Moving Clean is the one for empty homes, and it alone includes the inside of the oven, refrigerator and cabinets.
