Yes, there’s a hill

Cincinnati is sometimes called the City of Seven Hills. Price Hill is one of those, and it’s one of the oldest in the west of downtown. East Price Hill features an incline on 8th Street and Price Avenue that leads to a couple of restaurants with views of the Ohio River and downtown Cincinnati. It’s part of the charm of this area. “It’s been through a renaissance for the last decade or decade and a half,” says Todd Blersch, a real estate agent with over 22 years of experience at Coldwell Banker Realty. “A redevelopment group called Price Hill Will worked with state and Federal money to bring some houses back to life that had been in disrepair.”

East Price Hill features of a variety of amenities, including unique homes, art and greenery.

On top of the hill

The summit of Price Hill offers a couple of restaurants locally renowned for their food and views of the city and river. Primavista is known for its Italian cuisine, seafood and nightly specials. All sauces are made in-house, and vegetarian and gluten-free options are available. Incline Public House has gourmet sandwiches, pizzas and salads. The dining room features panoramic views of the downtown skyline, and if the weather allows, the restaurant’s deck seats 60 people and provides the ultimate view. Catch a show at the Warsaw Federal Incline Theater, with popular Broadway shows including Jersey Boys and Beautiful, the Carole King musical. BLOC Coffee Company is a non-profit that invests what it makes at the store back into the community.

Older homes

The houses go back to the late 1800s and early 1900s and are priced between $150,000 and $300,000. “Compared to other parts of Cincinnati, the homes here are of relatively great value,” Blersch says. “A newer construction townhouse I had under contract has about 2,000 square feet and is listed for $275,000.” Some older houses that need renovation will be under $100,000. Classic architectural styles include an Italianate row house, Foursquare and Cape Cod. Like the townhouse that Blersch mentions, there are some relatively newer homes from the 1990s in the neighborhood. According to the CAP index, the crime score for East Price Hill is a 7 out of 10, compared to the national average of 4. The neighborhood has made strides to improve safety over the past 10 to 15 years.

Art in the neighborhood

Cincinnati ArtWorks has contributed murals with various themes on the sides of area businesses. One is called “Ode to Joy,” and it is on the side of the Santa Maria Community Services’ East Price Hill Family Center. It provides the community with educational tools and resources to find employment and promote healthier lifestyles, and it’s also part of the neighborhood’s revitalization efforts. Another is called “Let All You Do Be Done With Love,” it’s on the side of a building at the corner of Elberon and Warsaw Avenues. Mural art is prominently displayed on a house called Casa Colina, a home with a wraparound mural that’s a popular selfie spot.
