Cincinnati is a commute away
“Rural meets country” in Alexandria according to City Administrator, David Plummer. With the exception of roadside chili stops, a few barbecue joints and tractor supply stores along U.S. Route 27, the neighborhood is still mostly rolling hills, tall grass and trees; 1920s-era truss bridges arch over winding creeks. In recent years, however, new subdivisions have become more and more common across Alexandria, and vinyl-sided four-bedrooms with two-car garages look out onto centuries-old oaks. Approximately 15 miles from Alexandria via Interstate 471 is downtown Cincinnati and big-city attractions like Paycor Stadium, home of the Bengals, and Great American Ball Park, where fans cheer on the Reds come baseball season. The neighborhood offers a “great quality of life,” according to Plummer, blending the serenity of a rural existence with the conveniences of a nearby urban center.
New subdivisions, ranch-styles and split-levels
In this developing neighborhood, prospective buyers will find mostly new construction. Townhouses and condo units, many of which come with attached garages, hover between $300,000 and $450,000, whereas single-family homes in the traditional style can sell for approximately $550,000. Arcadia, a popular Alexandria subdivision, features amenities like a clubhouse with a fitness center, swimming pools and walking paths. In other parts of the neighborhood, 1960s-era brick ranch-styles, some of which fall under 1,000 square feet, start at $150,000 and ‘90s-era split levels sell for upwards of $250,000. Here, basketball hoops stand in quiet cul-de-sacs and residents look out onto leafy Kentucky Hills.

Theater arts in Campbell County Public Schools
Alexandria students are incorporated into Campbell County Schools, where Campbell Ridge Elementary, Campbell County Middle and Campbell County High all received a B-minus or higher from the educational review site, Niche. At Cambell Ridge Elementary, the Second Step program promotes healthy mental and emotional growth, and Campbell County High is known for its theater program, which has been nominated for (and won) dozens of Cincinnati area Cappie awards.
Residents know to expect traffic along Route 27 when school gets out in the afternoon; cars back up when lights turn red along the highway.

Restaurants and retail alongside Route 27
The majority of Alexandria’s shopping and dining options border Route 27, which passes vertically through the center of the neighborhood. Just off Alexandria Pike at Four Mile Pig, locals order loaded fries, hickory smoked pulled pork and bread pudding for dessert. Just down the road is Empress Chili, which first opened its doors in downtown Cincinnati over a century ago. Residents pick up groceries at the Walmart Supercenter in the Village Green Shopping Center, and the 25-minute drive to Cincinnati is populated with (several) Krogers and historic 19th-century downtowns in neighboring cities like Covington and Newport.

Fresh brews, bowling and annual community events
On Tuesday nights, stop by Alexandria Brewing Company for trivia or listen to live music most weekends. Or bowl, sing karaoke and order a hot dog at Southern Lanes Sports Center less than a mile north. Alexandria Community Park hosts annual events like an Easter egg hunt, Arbor Day tree give-away, a fishing derby, summer movie nights and a haunted walk come Halloween, and at the tail end of the summer, locals head to the Alexandria Fair & Horse Show for carnival rides and fried dough. Or make the trek up north to visit the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Gardens, which first opened in 1875. The zoo houses everything from African Lions to rattlesnakes and it also offers popular day camps and educational opportunities for school-aged children.

TANK buses, Amtrak and the Cincinnati Airport
Although Alexandria is largely rural, Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky (aka TANK) buses stop at the Village Green Shopping Center. From here, residents can take Route 27 all the way to Cincinnati and the city’s historic Union Terminal, where Amtrak’s Cardinal Line passes through on the way from Chicago to New York City. Twenty miles away from the neighborhood there’s also the Cincinnati/ Northern Kentucky International Airport, which offers flights to more than 50 nonstop destinations.
For medical care, drive along Route 27 and Interstate 471 to reach St. Elizabeth Ft. Thomas Hospital, which offers everything from primary care services to surgery.
