Delshire is a quiet neighborhood just 6 miles from Cincinnati

Delshire is a laid-back residential neighborhood in Delhi Township on Cincinnati's West Side. Perched on a bluff north of the Ohio River, the neighborhood feels removed from the pace of the city. Neighborhood kids can walk over to the local Delshire Elementary School and the Delshire Swim Club is a go-to spot in the summer for movie nights and swim meets. And even though it seems tucked away, you're still a quick drive from all the activity of downtown Cincinnati, just 6 miles away.

Midcentury streets have a suburban West Side feel

Delshire's winding suburban streets are lined with homes from the 1950s to the 1970s. You'll find ranch-style, split-level and bi-level houses, many updated with refreshed kitchens or finished lower levels. Backyards are shaded by mature trees and sidewalk-lined streets often end in cul-de-sacs. Prices typically run from the lower $200,000s to the lower $400,000s. Overall, Delshire reflects the West Side's reputation for quiet neighborhoods and a strong sense of community. "When I first moved here from Dayton, someone told me I was an 'East Sider' because I lived there at the time," says Roy Webb, a broker/owner at RealTown Realty in Cincinnati, who adds, "The West Side is a big part of the city. I've never heard of another town's community being like this."

Delshire Elementary School is right within the neighborhood

Because it's outside Cincinnati city limits, Delshire is served by the Oak Hills Local School District. Delshire Elementary School is located right within the neighborhood, within walking distance from many homes. Kids can also attend Oak Hills High School, which earns high ratings from Niche. Nearby private options include the all-boys Elder High School and the all-girls Seton High School, both B-plus rated Catholic preparatory schools.

Nature trails and a community pool within the neighborhood

The neighborhood is built around the membership-only Delshire Swim Club. Kids can walk over to meet friends at the pool or join the competitive swimming team, the Delshire Dolphins. Neighborhood streets connect directly to the trails at Embshoff Woods Nature Preserve, which also has a popular disc golf course. And a short drive down to the Ohio River gets you to the Riverside Sports Complex, with boat launches and a playground along the water.

Family friendly events at Delshire Swim Club and Delhi Park

The Delshire Swim Club hosts events throughout the year, and Delhi Township offers additional community programming. Stay busy at:

  • Delshire Swim Club, the go-to neighborhood hub with Family Movie Nights, Fourth of July fireworks and a Halloween car show
  • Delhi Farmers Market, a summer Saturday market at Delhi Park
  • Concerts in the Park, a free live music series at Delhi Park
  • Delhi Event Center, a community center with programs like wine tasting and quilt making

Grocery stores and chain restaurants along Delhi Road

You're less than 2 miles from Delhi Shopping Center, home to a Kroger and plenty of surrounding chain restaurants. Delhi Township doesn't have a traditional downtown, but there are some local restaurants and neighborhood pubs, including:

  • Jim & Jack’s, a country music bar that has live bands and line dancing
  • LaRosa's Family Pizzeria, a longtime Cincinnati chain with a drive-up window
  • Kumo Asian Fusion, a casual restaurant serving Japanese and Chinese dishes
  • Jocko’s Pub, a laid-back bar with pool tables and live music

Easy access to downtown Cincinnati by car or Metro bus

Cincinnati's City Center is about 6 miles away, usually less than a 15-minute drive. The Metro bus runs right through the neighborhood streets and connects into downtown in about 25 minutes. The neighborhood's proximity to downtown makes it easy to enjoy Cincinnati's attractions while living in a quieter residential setting. "We have a well-established arts scene with an amazing symphony, opera and great theater. We also have sports teams in the MLB, NFL and MLS," says Amy Getgey, Cincinnati resident and Realtor at Comey & Shepherd. "There are safe neighborhoods here that are easily accessible, and there's a lot to do."
