Homes for Sale in Chili, NY

What "Chili, NY" actually means (and doesn't)

Chili is a town — not a village — in western Monroe County, about 8 miles southwest of downtown Rochester. It's big: roughly 50 square miles, three zip codes, and a patchwork of subdivisions, farm parcels, and commercial corridors along Chili Avenue and Paul Road.

The single most common confusion: Churchville is not in Chili. It's a separate incorporated village in the Town of Riga, directly west of Chili. They share the Churchville-Chili Central School District, which is why the names are stuck together in MLS search results. If you're comparing the two before you buy, the Chili vs Churchville 2026 guide breaks down the tax and school math.

Churchville-Chili Central School District (CCCSD)

Every Chili address is zoned to CCCSD, which serves roughly 3,700 students across elementary, middle, and high school buildings. The district also serves Churchville (Town of Riga), so you'll see the district name on listings in both towns.

For boundary verification (especially on the Chili/Gates or Chili/Wheatland lines), always confirm directly with the district before buying.
