Prominent Cincinnati neighborhood with historic character and new energy
As Cincinnati’s largest neighborhood, Westwood makes room for historic properties, a trendy dining scene and the Queen City’s largest park. The community's beating heart exists around landmarks like the Westwood Town Hall, Westwood United Methodist Church and Westwood First Presbyterian Church. Here, these two houses of worship stand out with their stone craftsmanship and blend of Gothic and Romanesque architecture. During the week, many pass by these buildings on their daily errands. Westwood’s charm carries over to its housing, too. “There are lots of Tudors, saltboxes, very nice homes. Some of them have fallen into disarray, but people have come back and brought them back to life. It’s just real quality-built homes with really beautiful woodwork and architecture. It has a lot to offer,” says Nick Guetle, the owner of Cincinnati Boardwalk Realtors, who has made over 30 sales in Westwood. “Westwood also has its own little town area that’s really trying to make a comeback with restaurants and entertainment.”

Hikers and bikers can explore the woods' miles of trail. Disc golf enthusiasts will find a course here, and dog owners let their pets stretch their legs at the park.

I enjoy this area. Everything I need is pretty close and it's in a convenient location. The nightlife and schools are relatively good as well but it's more suburb than urban.

Westwood has been a good experience. It's a very diverse area and really offers everything. It has a very interesting mix of single family, multi family homes and apartments. The area around the town hall is very nice and has good youthful energy with muse cafe, west side brewing, nation Westwood, etc. My daughter goes to school here and the experience has been wonderful throughout.
