Why Live in California
California, a small river neighborhood in Cincinnati, offers a rural feel just 15 minutes east of downtown. Situated at the intersection of the Ohio and Little Miami Rivers, it provides easy access to the greater metro area via Interstate 275. The neighborhood features a mix of luxury riverfront homes in The Sanctuary at River Green, cozy cottages, bungalows, and a mobile home lot. While sidewalks are uncommon, residents primarily rely on cars for transportation. California has a low crime risk compared to the national average but does face flood risks due to its proximity to the river. The neighborhood lacks schools, but children attend schools in the Cincinnati City School District, including the highly rated Walnut Hills High School and McNicholas High School.
For things to do, residents can visit Lebo’s Bar & Grill for karaoke and live bands, Pig Candy BBQ for smoked meats, and Dead Low Brewing for a variety of beers. Grocery shopping is available at Kroger on Beechmont Avenue. Outdoor enthusiasts can explore the California Woods Nature Preserve, Margish Preserve, and the Ohio River Trail. The Queen City Rowing Club and University of Cincinnati Rowing Center offer rowing opportunities, while the River City Sports Complex hosts softball leagues. Coney Island Park features a large water park and hosts the Appalachian Festival and concerts at the Riverbend Music Center. The California Golf Course provides an 18-hole course for golf enthusiasts. Public transportation is unavailable, but the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport is a 17-mile drive away, and Mercy Health-Anderson Hospital is 5 miles from the neighborhood.
