A laid-back area less than 15 miles away from downtown Cincinnati
Bridgetown is a Green Township community where locals can trade cards at Ideal Baseball Cards, hit the lanes at Western Bowl or spend the afternoon relaxing on their porches. "It's peaceful," says Daphne Matthews, a resident of the community and the CEO and producer of Lure Entertainment and Lure Entertainment Productions LLC. Here, properties, including cozy Cape Cods and brick cottages that mainly date back to the '50s and '60s line the streets. They sell more than two times faster than the national average, reflecting the community's desirability. Part of the appeal is that locals are just a short drive to downtown Cincinnati's major employers and that the community boasts a number of amenities within its borders, including plenty of eateries, unique establishments and a popular hike and bike path. Another aspect that may draw people in is Bridgetown's culture. "Everyone's pretty much laid-back," Matthews says. " [In the summer], all of my neighbors sit outside, listening to music, hanging out."
Midcentury homes galore
Situated relatively close together along sloping streets are primarily midcentury constructions, like Cape Cods with basement garages. Prospective residents will also find ranch-styles, compact brick cottages with small porches and storybook Tudor Revivals in the community. Many of these homes feature paved pathways that bisect grassy lawns and connect to the sidewalks. Some residences are even backed up against mature trees that envelope backyards into the privacy of dense greenery. Bridgetown is also home to some apartments and condos, many of which are located in the northern sector of the community. Prices typically range from $130,000 for a two-bedroom condo to $460,000 for a brick ‘80s construction. Depending on their location, some properties here receive high Flood Factor Scores.

Public and private schooling options
Children can enroll in the Oak Hills Local School District. They can start at Oakdale Elementary School, which receives a B-plus rating on Niche. Students can participate in extracurricular activities like orchestra, science club and intramural sports. They can continue to A-minus-rated Bridgetown Middle School, where they can hone their problem-solving skills by joining the Destination Imagination team. Students can then head to B-minus-rated Oak Hills High School, where they can take programming and business classes. Some children opt for private options, like St. Aloysius Gonzaga School, a kindergarten through 8th-grade Catholic institution that has not yet received a rating from Niche.

Ideal Baseball Cards, Cancun Restaurant and Catina and more local establishments
For shopping, dining and more, “you don’t have to go outside of Bridgetown,” says Teddy Holbrook, an agent at Wyndham-Lyons Realty Services. “Everything’s right at your fingertips.” At Ideal Baseball Cards, regulars come to trade in parts of their collections or peruse from over two million cards, some of which date back to the 19th century. For food out, locals can walk past a bonsai tree and into the doors of Cancun Restaurant and Catina to enjoy a plate of flavorful fajitas with a view of the connected Western Bowl’s many lanes. For American fare, many people here head to Nick & Tom’s Restaurant & Bar, which has been serving the community for over 30 years. Bridgetown is conveniently home to a Kroger Marketplace location for those who’d rather stay in for the night.
Ideal Baseball Cards in Bridgetown has a large selection of sports cards.

Biking, hiking and bowling
When the weather is nice, many Bridgetown residents head to the paved Green Township Bike and Walk Trail, which is bordered by heavily wooded areas on both sides. For other recreational options, people here can grab their friends to hit the greens at the public-use nine-hole Woodland Golf Course or head to nearby green spaces like Mt. Airy Forest. Here, visitors trek on trails that meander through acres of evergreens and hardwoods, some even spotting the occasional deer. Those wanting to enjoy an activity inside can lace up their bowling shoes and challenge their friends to a match at Western Bowl.

Green Township’s events and the Dent School House
The township hosts a plethora of events throughout the year, including the annual Jack Snyder Memorial Kite Flight, where residents enjoy picnics as they watch kids spend the afternoon flying their kites. Around the Fourth of July, locals gear up for the annual concert and firework show that creates a lively atmosphere and makes for a popular way to spend the holiday. When Halloween rolls around, children put on their costumes for the Truck or Treat event. Older kids and adults can head to the Dent School House, where screams fill the air as actors scare anyone who dares to head into the allegedly haunted property.
Proximity to downtown Cincinnati
Residents can hop on Interstate 74 to get to downtown Cincinnati, which is just around a 12.5-mile drive away. This means that locals are only a short drive from some of Cincinnati’s biggest employers, like Western & Southern Financial Group and Proctor & Gamble. Other nearby employers include TriHealth Group Health - Western Ridge and Good Samaritan Hospital, both of which can be less than an 8-mile drive away. To get to the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, residents can head on Interstate 275 for approximately 30 miles. While most Bridgetown residents drive, the can also take the Cincinnati Metro.
