A quiet Cincinnati neighborhood
Cincinnatians know North Avondale as a place where they can drive down the streets, roll down the windows and admire eclectic homes, each one different from the next. "It was basically the first high-end neighborhood in Cincinnati," says local Realtor Alicia Stoughton with Keller Williams Realty. In fact, throughout the late 1800s and into the early 1900s, notable people including Andrew Erkenbrecher — founder of the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden — settled down here. However, North Avondale offers more than just unique homes. It is the community's location that encourages many people to purchase homes here, according to Matt Wielgos, a Realtor with Plum Tree Realty who has experience working throughout Cincinnati. "It's quiet and very much straight within the confines of the city," he says, mentioning the community's proximity to nearby employers and adding that it reflects how "you don't have to move to the suburbs to have comfortable living." After all, downtown Cincinnati is just about 5 miles away, and Xavier University is just east. This convenient location, coupled with an involved neighborhood association that hints at the community's tight-knit nature, only adds to the appeal.

A diverse housing market
Homes here are tucked behind maple trees and situated along sloping sidewalk-lined streets. "There are some on less than quarter-acre lots and others on almost multiacre lots," Stoughton says. Properties also reflect a myriad of styles, ranging from Tudor Revivals to Queen Anne builds. Colonials, Foursquares with terracotta roofs and Italianate homes sit along the rolling hills of Rose Hill Avenue, "the fanciest part of North Avondale," Stoughton says. There are also more modest options like bungalows and ranch-styles in the community. Single-family home prices range from $200,000 to $1 million, with homes along Rose Hill Avenue starting at $600,000; buyers can expect to find most ranch-styles costing between $200,0000 and $300,000. The community also features condos, which typically range from $100,000 to $250,000, as well as some apartment complexes. Prospective residents should be aware that North Avondale receives a CAP Index Crime Score of 6 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4. Higher-than-average property crime scores and notably higher violent crime scores make up this number.

Commute to downtown Cincinnati and nearby employers
Residents can take Metro buses, but most drive to get around. Conveniently, North Avondale is just west of Interstate 71 and east of Interstate 75. Residents can take I-75 to the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Airport, which is about 20 miles away. They can take that same route for about 8 miles to downtown Cincinnati or get to the city center by taking a 5-mile drive via Reading Road and I-71. These shorter commutes are the reason many move to North Avondale. People are "looking for homes in proximity to their workplaces," Wielgos says. "A lot of the individuals living in North Avondale are part of the medical profession." UC Health and Cincinnati Children's Hospital — which U.S. News & World Report ranked as the country's best children's hospital for 2023-2024 — are less than 3 miles away via Harvey Avenue.
