A developing suburb with an enduring rural feel

Established at the turn of the 19th century, South Monfort Heights became a farming community by 1920, when the population sat at just 250. Today, just over 4,500 residents call the neighborhood home, which has maintained its secluded, rural feel thanks to forested roads that wind from one home to the next. Annual community events and nearby expansive parks offer plenty to keep busy and an opportunity to stay in touch with neighbors, cultivating a presence of longtime homeowners. “Monfort Heights is a place where multiple generations have lived,” says Alicia Stoughton, a Realtor with Keller Williams Advisors, who has sold over 70 homes in the northern Cincinnati region.

Cape Cods and New Traditionals

The rolling hills of South Monfort Heights in Green Township, Ohio, take residents on a serene tour of historic brick houses tucked behind neat green lawns, revealing a well-kept residential landscape. “There’s a lot of pride toward being a part of the community,” says Stoughton. A bird’s eye view reveals intermittent spots of blue along each street — private pools built in residents’ backyards. Lot sizes leave room for amenities like inground pools, gardens and trampolines. Decorative dormer windows and cozy front porches are a few assets that add character to the ranch, Cape Cod and New traditional-Style homes built through the 20th century. Meanwhile, newer developments constructed in the early 2000s balance modern interests. Most homes sell between $150,000 and $450,000. However, larger homes on more significant acreage can exceed $500,000 and reach up to $735,000. Condos are also available and range in price from $150,000 to $200,000.
