Cincinnati Living

Posted to Downtown Cincinnati

The Cincinnati area offers a diverse range of lifestyle options, from urban to suburban to rural. Hyde Park is an eclectic neighborhood on the east side of Cincinnati that is built around Hyde Park Square, a 2-block area with a park and surrounding shops and restaurants. What you may not know about Hyde Park is that it is home to the oldest surviving ice cream manufacturer. At 125 years old, Graeter’s Ice Cream parlor is the only manufacturer left using the French pot method. Another great neighborhood in Ohio is West Chester, a community that has undergone significant growth in the past few years. With an estimated 56,500 residents, West Chester benefits from its diversity, its scope of residential communities and its excellent school district, Lakota Local Schools. The community’s beautiful parks and cultural offerings make it a wonderful place to live.

Another rapidly growing community is Mason, a progressive town that is known for being business-friendly. Developers and business owners enjoy working in Mason and work carefully to plan a community that serves both residents and businesses. Mason is home to enterprises like Mitsubishi and Cintas Corporation and also to recreational destinations like Kings Island Amusement Park and The Beach Waterpark. Similarly, Deerfield Township is an area booming with new construction, lots of restaurants and shopping and a variety of cultural and recreational opportunities for the whole community. In the southwest portion of the state, Oxford is a college town and is home to Miami University. With a population of about 22,000 and about half of the population between the ages of 20 and 24 due to the University’s influence, Oxford is a place with a strong tie to education and is great for young residents.
