College Hill
College Hill, named for two colleges once located in the area, carries a legacy of 19th-century elegance and aristocracy, which is still evident today. Many of its streets remain gas-lit, adding to the historical charm of this urban village.
Situated on a high ridge with rolling, wooded terrain, College Hill offers a diverse range of housing options. In some areas, stately old homes are surrounded by ancient trees, embodying Cincinnati’s reputation for architectural strength and variety. Other sections feature smaller homes, pleasant apartments, and newer developments with ranch-style and brick homes.
The community has undergone thoughtful enhancements, including new tree plantings, improved street lighting, and upgraded recreational facilities. Its neighborhood shopping districts add to the vibrancy and convenience of the area. College Hill has also been a proud host of CitiRama twice, featuring developments like Witherby Meadows and Gershom Grove. Whether you’re drawn to the charm of an older home or the appeal of modern designs, College Hill offers a variety of living opportunities steeped in historical significance and poised for the future.
