Our History
Roc Rooms & Rentals began as a single-family house in the summer
of 2001. Jesse Casper, the founder, was looking for an apartment
for his friends and himself. Finding nothing that really met
their needs, he decided purchase his own. From 2001
to 2003 they lived in the 6-bedroom home he bought, working through many of problems
and frustrations of shared living and having a good deal of fun in the process.
Jesse soon realized that there was a need for housing that allowed students to save on costs, meet new people,
and have the stress taken out of setting up a place to live. From foreign
students new to the area to local students who don't want to
pay large sums for housing or furniture they will use for only one year.
There was a need in the market and Jesse decided to fulfull it. His new residents expressed their appreciation for not having to stress about their roommates ability to pay their bills, and for the convenience of paying only one bill for their entire cost of housing.
After graduating from RIT in 2004, Jesse began to expand Roc Rooms & Rentals. Purchasing his first duplex near the Univeristy of Rochester and continuing to expand from there. By 2011 Roc Rooms & Rentals had a total of 18 properties totaling 74 rooms rented to area students. In the years ahead we will continue to grow the company to meet the strong demand for our housing.
