Fruit Hill

Cape Cods, colonials and contemporaries
Homes have sloping, sometimes-wooded lots, with plenty of room for a dog to play. Shrubs line the mulch beds of front lawns, and cars can park in attached garages or narrow driveways. In older developments, midcentury Cape Cods and split-levels are often renovated and sell between $280,000 and $400,000. Stately colonials move in the 400s and up to $560,000, built in the 1980s and early 2000s. Newly built contemporaries are upwards of $600,000 or $700,000, found in the eastern portion of the neighborhood. The Cincinnati Police Department serves Fruit Hill, and the CAP Index Crime Score is two points below the national average of 4.Forest Hills Local School District
Families move to Fruit Hill for its highly rated school district, one of the top 10 in Cincinnati. Students can start at Maddux or Sherwood Elementary, both rated an A by Niche. They’ll likely travel 3 miles to Nagel Middle, and Anderson High might be their next stop – these schools also receive As from Niche. Anderson students can select from 15 music courses or join the award-winning “Pride of AHS” bands.Beech Acres Park and Withrow Nature Preserve
“Anderson Township has over 250 acres of green space, and the township does a great job at maintaining all the common areas,” says Chris Waits, a Cincinnati native and 18-year Realtor with Sibcy Cline. “They’re very active in finding ways to improve the community.” Residents can check out the skating bowl and amphitheater at Beech Acres Park, or they might run around the indoor basketball courts at RecPlex nearby. On their next visit, they might sign up for the facility’s summer camps, sports leagues and special events. Frequented as both a hiker’s hangout and a wedding venue, Withrow Nature Preserve has the 1.7 mile Trout Lily Trail with a view of the Ohio River. West of the neighborhood, the Little Miami Scenic Bike Trail runs 78 miles, all the way to Xenia.Big Apple Bagels, Anderson Mall
Big Apple Bagels is one of the most popular breakfast spots in Fruit Hill. For dinner, Pelican’s Reef has laid-back seafood and pasta, and local chain Skyline Chili has Cincinnati-style spaghetti chili. Residents can clothes-shop a half-mile east at Anderson Towne Center mall, where they’ll find Macy’s, Chico’s and Kroger.
Beechmont Avenue and I-275
Most of the neighborhood is walkable to the local shops on Beechmont Avenue. To get to downtown Cincinnati, commuters can drive 13 miles on Interstate 275, just south of the neighborhood.Gathering at Beech Acres and Anderson Towne Center
Beech Acres’ summertime Concerts in the Park hosts local musicians, and community artists showcase their work at A Fair of the Arts, accompanied by food and drink vendors. Everyone gathers there in late July for Anderson Day, a weekend-long celebration with fireworks, rides, performances and more. At the winter clock tower lighting, Santa comes to the Towne Center Mall in a red firetruck, bringing vendors and games along with him.
