Washington Township
Lots large enough for horses and four-wheelers
Washington Township offers a mix of single-family, ranch-style homes, rustic cottages, farmhouses and sprawling country estates. Homes range from around $300,000 to $750,000, with the median price hovering around $440,000. Most were built in the mid-1990s and early 2000s, and popular subdivisions include Arabian Run and Hopewell Meadows. A select few properties date back to the early 1900s, long before Interstate 71 divided the landscape. “With it being so rural,” says Hagemeyer, “the cost of home ownership and taxes are reasonable.” It’s common for houses to sit on multiple acres, which means enough space for four-wheelers, workshops and even horses. There are also undeveloped plots of land available for under $150,000. Washington Township has a 1 out of 10 CAP Index Crime Score, ranking it well below the national average of 4.Ohio’s oldest state park, nature preserves and campgrounds
Along with Fort Ancient Earthworks & Nature Preserve, the oldest state park in Ohio, Washington Township is also home to the Mather’s Mill Nature Preserve, which spans approximately 42 acres next to the Little Miami River. The preserve has an access point to Little Miami Scenic Trail, also known as the Loveland Bike Trail, which runs close to 80 miles and connects Clark and Hamilton Counties. There are several campgrounds throughout the neighborhood, and, according to Hagemeyer, Olive Branch is especially popular due to its location along the Interstate. Families book log cabins or RV plots year-round, and the site hosts events like “Campfire Christmas” around the holidays. “Both Ceasar Creek and Kings Island [Amusement Park] are a 10-minute drive, so we have a lot of outdoor recreation to offer,” Hagemeyer says. Gulley Park Disc Golf Course is off Middleboro Road, and there are opportunities for catch-and-release fishing—local species include catfish and rainbow trout—in the winding creeks and small lakes throughout the township.Neighborhood bars and retail in Colony Square Shopping Center
Dining options are sparse in the community save Little River Bar & Grill, a restaurant location that dates back to 1970. While the spot has passed through several owners and undergone name changes, the most current owner and name was established in 2019. The burger joint hosts trivia nights, special events, and, occasionally, live musicians. Historic Downtown Lebanon brick antique stores, frozen custard shops and cozy Italian eateries housed in 19th-century buildings are about 7 miles west. Most notably, the Golden Lamb Restaurant & Hotel has hosted the likes of Charles Dickens and Neil Armstrong since it first opened in 1803. Fast food options and a movie theater in Colony Square Shopping Center, also located in Lebanon, and IGA Express is the nearest grocery store. “That’s the beauty of living here,” says Hagemeyer. “You get the quiet countryside with any community service or amenity you need with a 10 to 15-minute drive.” Those living in the eastern half of the neighborhood are closer to Clarksville’s small town center and Wilmington, Ohio, a few miles beyond.Agricultural Science at Clinton Massie High School
Students living in the neighborhood can attend schools within the Clinton-Massie Local School District, which includes Clinton Massie Elementary, Clinton Massie Middle and Clinton Massie High. All three earn B grades from Niche. At Clinton Massey High, which has a student body of approximately 500, agricultural science coursework options include livestock selection, mechanical principles and agriculture business. The industrial technology department offers classes in mechanical drawing and metallurgy.Vertical racing and annual festivals in Lebanon
Devil’s Staircase is located off Corwin Road near the Little Miami River. The off-road race track is the headquarters of the Dayton Motorcycle Club and has hosted Hillclimb Weekend, a two-day vertical racing event with live music and local food vendors, for the past 75 seasons. Horsefeathers Farm is family-friendly and has wallabies on-site, while Ozone Zipline Adventures offers team-building packages. There are community events throughout the year in Downtown Lebanon: rides along the old-fashioned Lebanon Mason Monroe Railroad, a Horse Parade around Christmastime and a Blues Festival in August that includes a classic car show, beer garden and blocks of street food.Commutes along Interstates 71 and 75
From Washington Township, it takes about 40 minutes—depending on commuter traffic—to drive the 35 miles along Interstate 71 into Cincinnati. Dayton is also about 35 miles away, accessible via Interstate 75 or State Route 380 and U.S. Route 35. Wilmington Airpark, a leading cargo facility, is a major employer in the region, and private planes can land at Clinton County Regional Airport. However, most commercial flights operate out of the Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport, about 60 miles from the neighborhood on the Kentucky side of the Ohio River. The nearest hospital is Clinton Memorial in Wilmington.
