In 2013, a Cherry Grove high schooler took a job at a mattress store. His task was to spin an advertisement on Beechmont Avenue — that was the basic requirement, at least. Wanting to put in the extra effort, he started dancing with the sign, and he never stopped. He boogied every weekday for eight hours, and soon enough, he was locally beloved. When community members heard he was trying to raise money for college tuition, they took action. A hundred flash mobbers gathered at his street corner, joining in the dance and cheering him on. But more than that, they had raised the money themselves as a thank you. His positivity and good spirit had inspired them. This story is representative of Cherry Grove, where people take care of each other, and this sense of community is a draw for long-time residents and newbies alike. “A lot of people have been here since the 1970s and 80s, when the neighborhood was formed,” says 30-year Realtor Sue Wahl, who has owned two houses in the area. “Families move here, too, because of the top-rated schools.”

20th-century homes with partially wooded lots
Roaming the narrow sidewalks of Cherry Grove, walkers will find split-levels and brick ranch-styles set away from wide streets. These late 20th-century homes aren’t renovated in most cases, but long-time owners have probably taken care of the place. New buyers can enjoy attached garages and wide front lawns framed with a few mulch beds and occasional trees. More forested backyards are likely fenced-in and have room for a dog to play while owners watch on raised decks. Though they might need some work, two-bedrooms are in the $150,000 to $200,000 range. Three-beds will progress to $300,000, and four-beds are likely around the $350,000 mark.

A-rated education in Forest Hills
Niche ranks the Forest Hills Local School District in Cincinnati’s top 10, and rightfully so—Summit Elementary, Nagel Middle and Anderson High all receive As from Niche. “It’s one of the most affordable neighborhoods in the district,” says Realtor Sue Wahl with Comey and Shepherd. “Kids can walk to Summit and Nagel.” Anderson students will also have access to an award-winning music program, home of 15 band classes and the “Pride of AHS” bands.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.
