My home base is Walnut Hills, East Walnut Hills and O’Bryonville, but I work with buyers and sellers in older neighborhoods all over Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky. Here are a few favorites.
One of Cincinnati’s first hilltop neighborhoods, Walnut Hills is where I live. You will find grand Italianate and Queen Anne homes, brick rowhouses and a business district around Peebles’ Corner and East McMillan that keeps getting more interesting. The Harriet Beecher Stowe House is here, and Eden Park is right next door.
Tree lined streets of substantial brick and stone homes radiate out from DeSales Corner, anchored by St. Francis de Sales Church and its famous bell, Big Joe. It is walkable, architecturally rich and close to everything, with some of the city’s most beautiful early 1900s homes.
A small, charming business district along Madison Road with antique shops, boutiques and well loved restaurants, surrounded by older homes on quiet side streets. O’Bryonville feels like a village tucked inside the city.
Famous for its gas streetlamps, Clifton is full of large Victorian and early twentieth century homes on winding streets. Ludlow Avenue has the Esquire Theatre, coffee shops and restaurants, and Burnet Woods and the University of Cincinnati are close by.
A friendly, community minded neighborhood of bungalows, Tudors and foursquares, many from the 1910s through the 1930s. The Montgomery Road business district has a growing mix of restaurants and shops, and the streets are made for walking the dog.
Just across the river from downtown Cincinnati, Covington has some of the region’s best preserved historic architecture, from the German heritage of MainStrasse Village to the riverfront homes of the Licking Riverside Historic District near the Roebling Suspension Bridge.
Newport’s East Row Historic District is one of the largest historic districts in Kentucky, packed with Victorian homes on walkable streets. Monmouth Street and the riverfront add restaurants, shops and easy access to Cincinnati.
A small river city with a big front porch feel. Fairfield Avenue is lined with local shops and restaurants, the streets are compact and walkable, and many homes come with views of the Ohio River and the Cincinnati skyline.
Bellevue’s next door neighbor along the Ohio River, Dayton is a quiet, close knit river town with affordable older homes on compact streets. The Riverfront Commons trail runs along the water with wide open skyline views, and you are only minutes from Newport and downtown Cincinnati.
Choosing a neighborhood is a bigger decision than choosing a house. Tell me how you want to live, whether that is walking to coffee, a big yard, a short commute or a quiet street, and I will show you the places that fit, including a few you may not have considered.
