Midcentury homes and Route 131 restaurants in Day Heights
With the exception of a few small restaurants, auto service stations and churches along State Route 131, Day Heights is a primarily residential neighborhood in Milford, Ohio. Single-family homes were built during the middle of the 20th century to accommodate a growing number of Cincinnati commuters, and many of the same families have called the area home for generations. “There’s a customer who used to come in after school every day with his mom, and he would get a pretzel stick. He’s an adult now and still comes in to get a sandwich, a bag of chips and the same pretzel stick. It reminds him of being a kid,” says Lindsay Garber, who works at Miami Market, a Route 131 mom and pop staple. “We see a lot of the same faces every day... We get to know their names.”
Single-family homes dating back to the 1950s, ‘60s and ‘70s
Architectural styles in Day Heights reflect the era when they were built. Prospective buyers find ranch-style and bi-level houses, and prices range from about $220,000 to around $400,000. Lot sizes are typically around half an acre, which means enough space for backyard swing sets and trampolines. Attached garages are common. Homes here sell after an average of 18 days, about a month faster than the national average. The neighborhood’s CAP Index Crime Score is a 2 out of 10.
Recreation in Cincinnati Nature Center and Miami Meadows Park outside of Day Heights
Although there are no parks within Day Heights, recreational spaces like Cincinnati Nature Center are a short trip away. The wildlife refuge spans more than 1,000 acres and features extensive hiking trails, a Nature PlayScape for kids, pollinator gardens and a pioneer-era cabin. It’s also a popular destination for local field trips. Miami Meadows Park is less than 2 miles from the neighborhood and has a basketball court, athletic fields and a playground. Residents can also cast their lines at the catch-and-release fishing lake.
Highly rated public schools in Milford
Milford is coveted for its highly rated public school system. Students with Day Heights addresses can attend Meadowview Elementary School, which has an A-minus from Niche, before moving on to Milford Junior High School, which also has an A-minus. Milford High School earns a B-plus grade, and students can earn college credit at nearby institutions like the University of Cincinnati through the College Credit Plus program. There’s also educational programming at the Miami Township branch of the Clermont County Public Library. Options include mental health and wellness workshops for seniors, poetry readings and painting classes.
Shopping at local shops, Mulberry Square and downtown Milford
Ohio State Route 131 is lined with small restaurants like Fuego Parrilla Mexicana 131, known for its fast-casual Mexican dishes, Jacob’s Pizza for takeout, and Bite for American comforts and outdoor dining. Miami Market has a few pantry staples and a deli counter, and Garber says sandwich prices haven’t changed for over a decade. “We try to keep things mom and poppy around here,” she explains. There’s also Kroger in Mulberry Shopping Center. Downtown Middletown, about 4 miles from the neighborhood beside the Little Miami River, has an eclectic mix of record stores, galleries and cafes, and Garber calls it the “hip” part of town. The Frontier Days Parade marches along Main Street in May, and the Historic Milford Association organizes horse-drawn-carriage rides during the holiday season.
Commutes to Cincinnati via Interstate 275
Cincinnati is less than 30 miles from Day Heights via Interstate 275, which has made the neighborhood a popular outpost for commuters. Public transit, however, is limited, and most residents rely on their own cars. Mercy Health’s Clermont branch is the nearest general hospital, and the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport has more than 50 direct flights to choose from.
