Close community with spacious properties and well-regarded schools
Southeast of Cincinnati sits the rural community of Bethel. While residents here get privacy and seclusion with spacious plots of land, they still live in a community that prioritizes supporting one another. “Just recently, a Bethel-Tate High School wrestler won the state championship, and the community came together to throw him a parade,” Patrick Luck, a Realtor with Wyndham-Lyons Realty Services and a past resident of Bethel, says. When not spending time at a community get-together, residents enjoy their farmhouses and ranch-style homes with spacious lots that give families so much room for activities. Children attend the well-regarded Bethel-Tate Local School District before spending after-school time at Burke Park or East Fork State Park. And on the weekends, kids will stay busy as well. “There’s a lot of youth sports activities in Bethel,” Luck says “There’s a ton of families that come for these activities.” While Downtown Cincinnati is a 30-mile commute, that’s another plus for those who decide to live in Bethel. “People live here to live in a small town away from the hustle and bustle,” Luck says.

Bungalows, farmhouses and ranch-style homes on generous plots of land
While land size can vary depending on residents' proximity to the town’s center, most properties are a mix of bungalows, farmhouses and ranch-style homes. Homes closer to the town center typically sit on less than a quarter acre, while homes further out have over an acre of land, perfect for a garden and even stables. Residents can expect to see streets lined with mature shade trees throughout the neighborhood, while homes in the nearby country may showcase sweeping views of nearby farms and forests. A fixer-uppers here can sell for $40,000 up to about $170,000. Turnkey properties typically start around $200,000 and can go as high as $685,000. “The market in Bethel is really good, most houses are selling over list price,” Luck says. While residents can walk from business to business along Plane Street, most use cars to get from place to place. As for crime, the CAP Index gave Bethel a 3 out of 10 Crime Score, lower than the national average.

30 miles from Downtown Cincinnati
“People in town do commute to Cincinnati, but it’s far enough out that it doesn’t feel like a suburb; it’s definitely its own place,” Vicki White, a Realtor with Comey & Shepherd Realtors, says. Residents who must commute into Downtown Cincinnati are looking at a 30-mile drive from Bethel. Public transportation is not available from the neighborhood. Those who need to catch a flight can do so at the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, a 38-mile drive from the neighborhood. Medical attention can be found at the Mercy Health Clermont Hospital, 14 miles north.
