Matthew Sharman

Lima, NY offers a traditional Livingston County village surrounded by farmland, rolling countryside, and convenient routes toward Honeoye Falls, Avon, Geneseo, and Rochester. The housing mix includes historic village properties, modest single-family homes, farmhouses, rural acreage, and newer homes outside the center. Buyers often value the small-town setting and access to Routes 5 and 20, but should compare village services with private well and septic systems in outlying areas. Lima real estate can suit buyers who want more space and a quieter pace without feeling disconnected from regional employment and amenities.
