Distinctive suburban living and big business in northeastern Cincinnati
Refined suburban surroundings and a thriving corporate sector are two elements of life in Blue Ash, a city and business hub on the northeast side of the Cincinnati Metro. Home to a range of well-known companies, Blue Ash is a popular choice for professionals, while the area's high-ranking school system is attractive to families. Adding to the appeal is the community's large-scale Fourth of July celebration, an abundance of shopping and dining options and the popular mixed-use Summit Park, which sits at the heart of the city.

Mature subdivisions with single-family homes, condos and others
“There’s some condos, single-family, townhomes, patio homes, got a little bit of everything,” says Patrick Lach, an agent with Sibcy Cline Realtors, a Cincy native who has sold in Blue Ash and beyond for more than seven years. Most of Blue Ash’s development happened after the area was incorporated as a city in the 1960s. Subdivisions with single-family homes would pop up in town and neighboring communities like Dillonvale and Kenwood were established between the 1970s and the 2010s. Townhouses and condos round out the available options and feature new traditional design sensibilities. The city’s median home value of $425,000 is on par with the national figure, but higher than the median value for homes in Cincinnati and Ohio as a whole.

The district includes four elementary schools and one intermediate school, each holding A grades or higher. Sycamore Junior High School and Sycamore High School both earn A-plus grades on Niche.
