Family-oriented suburban neighborhood 20 miles east of Cincinnati

Twenty miles east of Cincinnati, just inside the Interstate-275 Beltway, lies Mount Carmel, one of the oldest communities in Union Township, dating back to the early 1800s. “This is a small community that gives a warm family feel,” says Roger Wagner, a Realtor with Wyndham-Lyons Realty Services, LLC. “A lot of buyers in this area have kids, so that’s something very important to them.” Families are attracted to the neighborhood by the schools, the plethora of parks and proximity to the Eastgate Mall shopping area and Downtown Cincinnati.

From ranch-style and split-levels to colonials and new-traditional homes

The real estate market in Mount Carmel is highly competitive due to the budget-friendly cost of entry. “There is inventory in your lower to middle range, which brings a lot of first-time buyers here,” Wagner says. “When you hit the higher range, you’re limited to how many people can reach those numbers.” Ranch-style homes built in the 1950s and split-level homes built in the 1970s are prevalent and have sold for between $150,000 and $300,000. Larger colonials and new traditional homes are becoming more popular and selling for between $300,000 and $700,000. “Right now, new construction is the hottest, but existing homes are still very marketable,” Wagner says. “If someone is looking for subdivision living, it’s here. If someone wants land, it’s here. If someone wants a big house or small house, it’s here.” The popularity of the neighborhood has led to more and more development. New single-family homes and townhouses are going up in the Twelve Oaks Community. These properties go for between $225,000 and $425,000. While sidewalks line the streets of Mount Carmel, the community is more spread out, making it more of a car-dependent neighborhood, backed up by its Walk Score of 32 out of 100. As for crime, the CAP Index gave Mount Carmel a Crime Score of 3 out of 10, slightly lower than the national average.

Residents gather at Mt. Carmel Brewing Co.

Primarily residential, Mount Carmel is quiet by design and has limited commercial business. Established in 2005, Mr. Carmel Brewing Company was once a two-vessel system nestled in a storm cellar but has since expanded to a 30-barrel brewhouse. Set in the basement of a 1924 farmhouse, this brewery features a taproom offering pints and growlers. The Carriage House has a scratch kitchen for lunch and dinner and can accommodate private events for up to 150 people. “Mount Carmel is the small picture neighborhood, but the big picture is part of the Eastgate area,” Wagner says. Anchored by the Eastgate Mall, which is undergoing widescale changes under new ownership, Eastgate Pavilion and the Eastgate Village Shops, this business and retail mecca are located near the interchange of Interstate-275 and Ohio State Route 32. For stocking up on groceries and essentials, Walmart Supercenter, Sam’s Club, ALDI and Jungle Jim’s International Market are all in the same shopping complex. The area teems with chain dining like Applebee’s, Golden Corral, Longhorn Steakhouse and Steak ‘n Shake.
