With new construction in the past five years, people are moving to Fruit Hill and wider Anderson Township because of its top-rated school district, park system and local events. “There are more starter homes that would be a good fit for families with children because of Maddux Elementary, Beech Acres Park and Anderson RecPlex,” says Justin Jones, a 5-year manager of Imagine Homes. Community lovers will love this area, too, as Beech Acres hosts summer concerts, an art fair and a fireworks festival. If they want more outside time, they might go to one of the township’s 10 parks.

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.

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.

The weather is pretty good in this area. It is not to hot nor to cold like other parts of the country. We have our occasional flooding in the valleys and our thunderstorms but that is about it.

This is a very safe area. The police are always out and moving. When you need them they respond quickly and are always helpful. There is very little to no crime in the area.
