Why College Hill?
Like Chicago or Brooklyn, Cincinnati is known for its distinct old neighborhoods and the fiercely loyal residents who call them home. Settled in 1813, the northern neighborhood of College Hill-named after now-defunct Farmer’s College and Ohio Female College-has kept much of its leafy college campus character. Those who live here see the area as the most tight-knit and diverse (forward-thinking college professors and other abolitionists who were among the neighborhood’s earliest residents helped ensure it was racially integrated even before the Civil War). Like most Cincinnati ‘hoods, College Hill has dozens of locally owned businesses, including LaRosa’s pizzeria, a Cincinnati favorite. More entertainment can be found just minutes away in downtown Cincinnati. The Houses There are many Craftsman-style bungalows, but the neighborhood is primarily known for its Tudor Revivals with stucco, brick, and stone exteriors, as well as front and screened-in side porches.
