East Hamilton has hip hangouts, highway access and open lots

Located just 34 miles north of Cincinnati on I-75 sits East Hamilton, an up-and-coming area with a lot to be excited about. “There is certainly a transformation happening right now,” says Huff Realty agent Tyler Minges. “It was an area that was forgotten about for a while, but now there is a lot of energy being put in by the community.” In East Hamilton, buyers can purchase brand new builds, purchase a lot, and create their own dream home or move into a historical home from the 1800s. A variety of fun parks and hip places to eat and drink make East Hamilton a place you won’t want to overlook.

Gridded streets offer lower price points and new builds

Brand new construction on a four-bedroom home can run up to $420,000, while craftsman-style builds from the turn of the century are in the $275,000 range. Two-bedroom ranch-style homes begin around $175,000. “One thing that separates East Hamilton from surrounding areas like Mason is the lower price points,” says Minges. The streets are easy to navigate, as East Hamilton is a heavily gridded area. Sidewalks are on both sides of the street and the terrain is mostly flat, making it a very walkable neighborhood. Street parking is typically a non-issue as the homes feature driveways and garages. Mature trees and gardens are prevalent in the front and back lawns of the homes.

Standout public school teachers and private options serve area

Children in East Hamilton enter the Hamilton City Schools district, beginning at Fairwood Elementary School. Fairwood Elementary holds a C rating on Niche and has a 14:1 student-to-teacher ratio, much better than the national average. First grade teacher Kiara Berry was the 2023 winner of the Gold Star Top Teacher Award presented by The Children’s Theater of Cincinnati. Students then move to Garfield Middle, which also holds a C rating on Niche. Hamilton High is rated B-minus and is home to Tim Carpenter, Ohio’s Association for Career and Technical Education Outstanding Educator in 2022. “We also have a great deal of real strong private schools in the area,” boasts Minges.

Lots of hiking at nearby metro parks and natural areas

There is no shortage of outdoor activities in East Hamilton. For those who love fishing, Gilmore MetroPark is a great spot for anglers and has miles of trails for hiking. Bird watching is a popular activity on this 268-acre wildlife preserve. Hikers can also check out miles of trails and wide-open greenspaces at Riverside Natural Area. L.J. Smith Park has outdoor basketball and a sprayground for hot summer days. The park is also a popular spot for youth sporting events with plenty of multi-use fields. Marcum Park has a paved running trail and is home to Rivers Edge Amphitheater. The city of Hamilton puts on free concerts at Rivers Edge Amphitheater all summer and it’s a great spot to see a show.

Longstanding family businesses anchor East Hamilton dining

Daylight Donuts has been serving East Hamilton residents for over 70 years. The daylight coffee gets people up and moving in the morning, while the cake donuts and sausage rolls are breakfast favorites. For quality pizza look no further than Chester’s Pizzeria. Family-owned since 1954, Chester’s has been using fresh ingredients to create authentic pizza and Italian subs. If you’re looking for sizzling fajitas and cheesy quesadillas head over to Coco’s Mexican. While there, be sure to grab a margarita and fresh guacamole. Pinball Garage is a great spot to take a trip down memory lane. This beer hall has 24 brews on tap and over 30 completely functional retro pinball machines.

The Kroger off Highway 4 is a great spot to shop for nationally recognized brands and stock up on groceries for a full week. For all your at-home needs, Walmart and Target are both located on Highway 129. Bridgewater Falls has even more retail options including clothing stores and beauty shops. With Cincinnati just 30 miles away, there are plenty of shopping opportunities just a short drive away.

GreatSchools: The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students.
