Explore the types of homes in Madison Place
The neighborhood primarily has single-family homes from the early to mid-20th century. “Usually there’s nothing newer than the 1960s, unless there’s an infill project or something,” says Sara Foltz, Realtor with Keller Williams Real Estate Services, who has experience in the area. Most homes are cottage-like bungalows with small yards and short driveways, so parked cars still line most streets. Some have raised foundations, making space for attached garages under covered front porches. Historic homes, from Cape Cods to Tudor Revivals and Dutch Colonials, are also common.
Bungalows, Cape Cods and Tutor-inspired houses are common throughout Madison Place.

Homes cost less than neighboring Mariemont

Investment properties often sell in the $100,000 range, while new construction, which is rare in the area, can cost up to $650,000. This is noticeably different from Mariemont’s housing stock, which has new developments, condos and million-dollar homes. “I see a lot of first-time homebuyers and young couples moving to Madison Place,” Foltz says. “They can take advantage of what Mariemont has without the taxes and prices they might have to pay to be in Mariemont proper.”

Highway 50 connects drivers to downtown Cincinnati in about 10 miles, or roughly 20 minutes. Kenwood’s commercial areas are accessible via Kenwood Avenue or Interstate 71. Metro bus routes are along Plainville Road.

The National Exemplar, an American restaurant with shareable plates and craft beer.
The Quarter Bistro, a fusion restaurant serving French and Latin-inspired dishes.
Roosters, a highly rated barber shop.
Mariemont Theatre, an old-school cinema screening new releases and classic films.
