Walnut Hills
One of the oldest neighborhoods in Cincinnati, Walnut Hills is named for the farm of one of its early settlers by the name of Reverend James Kemper. Walnut Hills was annexed to the City of Cincinnati in 1869. From its beginning Walnut Hills was and continues to be a diverse and dynamic neighborhood. Historic homes, churches, and schools are supported by three business districts and two business associations. It is approximately ten minutes to Downtown Cincinnati and within five minutes of the University of Cincinnati. Residents are proud of the culture and history of the area, distinct architecture, tree-lined streets, proximity to the City’s most interesting venues, parks, schools and an active community council that meets on a monthly basis.
