Secluded lake life, close community and beautiful homes
Just 24 miles down U.S. Route 50 along the Ohio River from Downtown Cincinnati, homebuyers can find a secluded lake life in Hidden Valley, a quaint neighborhood hiding in the majestic beauty that surrounds the Cincinnati tri-state area just on the other side of the Indiana state line. “The lake access and being able to use the lake is a big plus in Hidden Valley,” says John Miller, a Realtor for Fehrman Realty. “You can get on the main roads and get over to Ohio, and you’ve got jobs there, but the taxes are a lot less expensive than they are in Ohio.” While the taxes and proximity to Cincinnati and the lake attract prospective residents to the area, they stick around for the laundry list of recreational opportunities, beautiful homes, community events and impressive schools.

From custom Craftsmen lakefront homes to ranch-style builds on large lawns
Hidden Valley’s market has been fast-moving. “We have more buyers than listings available; it’s very desirable,” says Jessica Mueller, a Realtor with Sibcy Cline Lawrenceburg. The tight, winding roads surrounding Hidden Valley Lake feature custom Craftsman designs, a mix of Colonial Revival and midcentury modern styles on lakefront or lake-adjacent properties. New Traditional homes are common, but homebuyers will also find plenty of ranch-style builds or split-level floorplans along circular cut-outs and cul-de-sacs. As homebuyers move further from the shores, they’ll discover hillside homes surrounded by densely wooded areas and large lawns. Most properties sport plenty of room between neighbors, leaving space for private driveways and elaborate gardens. Single-family homes here have sold for between the high $100,000s and the high $700,000s. Townhouses and condominiums are also available in the neighborhood and have sold for between $175,000 and $310,000. As for crime, the CAP Index gave Hidden Valley a Crime Score of 1 out of 10, the lowest possible score a neighborhood can receive.
