Few homes for sale in this stable, long-term neighborhood
When you cross over Mill Creek into the neighborhood, it might feel like you’re in the middle of nowhere. The roads cut through densely wooded hills with aged houses placed here and there throughout the trees. Once you drive up Beekman Street, the trees grow thin, and you’ll find yourself in the center of the neighborhood. You can find residential streets sprouting off the main road that are less than a mile walk or drive to most local businesses. If you go south on Beekman Street, you’ll find a few grid-patterned streets with older row houses built in the 1920s. For the median price of $120,000, you could find a 1960s two-bedroom ranch-style or bungalow on the north end or a 1920s fixer-upper row house on the neighborhood’s south end. Part of the community atmosphere comes from the fact that people here don’t move very often, so you won’t always be able to find a home up for sale. If you’d rather build a house than wait for one, open lots are available for $5,000.Kids zoned for Cincinnati elementaries enter high school lottery
Students here may attend Cincinnati City School District, which is graded a B-minus by Niche. Kids here will likely go through a two-school pipeline, with elementary being kindergarten through sixth grade and high school being seventh through 12th grade. They could begin at Ethel M. Taylor Academy, which Niche grades a C. Ethel is less than a mile walk from most homes in the neighborhood and has a partnership with the Millvale Recreation Center next door. While elementary is zoned by location, high school assignment is done by a lottery, so students can be assigned anywhere in the district. They could go to Gilbert A. Dater High School, which is graded a C by Niche.Millvale Rec Center offers fitness, community support and events
After school, kids walk to the recreation center for organized activities that teach them the importance of physical health. Adults also rely on the Millvale Recreation Center for physical activities and educational courses. “We serve the community in any way we can,” says Jenkins, “along with fitness classes, we have a food pantry and help people fill out their taxes.” The Center has all your traditional indoor facilities like basketball courts, pools and workout areas, but they also have an outdoor pool and community garden. During the holidays, the Center organizes community events to bring people together and help those in need, like a Halloween party and food drives for Thanksgiving and Christmas.Soul food, salmon and signs just minutes from downtown Cincy
Jewell’s Soul Food serves up all the stick-to-your-ribs classics, but locals swear by her famous mac and cheese. Walk next door to The Surfin Salmon, where you can get salmon in any way imaginable. There are small markets in the area, but for your more substantial shopping needs, there’s a Walmart 5 miles away. For a rainy day activity, drive just over a mile away to the American Sign Museum. This neon wonderland displays signs from over 100 years of American history. For a day full of shopping and dining, downtown Cincinnati is just a 5 mile drive or bus ride away.

GreatSchools:
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.
