Mariemont is at the center of it all

Put together. That’s how someone might describe a stylish person with a manicured, well-curated appearance. If Mariemont was a person, someone might say it too is well put together – pleasing to the eye, with its parts thoughtfully assembled and exactly where they belong. “You want to live in Mariemont because it’s the best neighborhood in the world,” says Austin Long, a Realtor who sells Cincinnati homes for Keller Williams Advisors Realty. Just 10 miles northeast of downtown Cincinnati, Mariemont has the wrinkle-free face of a suburb deposited in the heart of an urban crossroads where the nation’s Northeast, Midwest and South meet. “If you’ve ever watched a medical commercial where they’re trying to sell you some new medication, those kinds of neighborhoods that they film in, that’s what it looks like,” Long says. Mariemont is what became of philanthropist Mary Emery’s early 20th-century vision. She’s the “Mary” in Mariemont, who laid the groundwork for one of the nation’s first planned communities. Originally conceived as a place to tackle post-World War I housing shortages, present-day Mariemont has evolved into a serene draft of an English garden community replete with Tudor, gabled-roofed, 18th-century Georgian row houses and adorable cottages with verandas. With shopping and dining built into the community’s fabric, Mariemont plants one foot firmly in the now while tapping the other in its occasional past. Yes, there’s even a Town Crier who dons traditional colonial clothing, performs official duties such as opening meetings and leads the annual Memorial Day Parade.

A round plate in a square in a circle

Shopping and dining in Mariemont is at the literal center of it all, accessible locally and everywhere. A roundabout brings diners to Mariemont Square, where their day can start with lemon ricotta pancakes at the National Exemplar, an American-style eatery housed inside the century-old Mariemont Inn. Later that evening, they can settle in at the Quarter Bistro for roasted duck, then meet up with friends at the water fountain before catching a movie at Mariemont Theatre. On the weekend, a drive to Fifty West Brewing Company is available if someone fancies a retro, walk-up burger bar serving craft beers and cinnamon crunch shakes. Kenwood Towne Centre has the retail necessities for shopping. And here in Kroger’s national headquarters, finding groceries is a no-brainer.

Mariemont Square is the heart of the city surrounded by exciting restaurants and retails.

A first-class neighborhood demands first class prices

Channeling the look and feel of an English country village with impressive amounts of Tudor Revival architecture and Gothic stone structures, Mariemont is desirable. “There’s nothing ever for sale here. And if it’s for sale, then it’s in multiple offers in five minutes,” Long says. Close to downtown in a setting that evokes all the “feels” sets the conditions for pricing the neighborhood’s homes. The median price for a single-family home is around $560,000, with homes ranging from around $450,000 to slightly above $1 million, outdistancing the top end of metropolitan area homes. Homes comprise about 40% of the village’s property mix, while industry makes up a noteworthy 26% and exists primarily in the community’s southwest corner.

Mariemont was to address the housing crisis in 1920's which gave life to these beautiful homes.

For whom the park bell tolls

From a 20,000-foot level, so much of Mariemont looks like one big park. Indeed, much actual park space occupies Mariemont, including its two attention-getters, Mariemont Gardens Park and Dogwood Park. Mariemont Gardens peers out over the Little Miami River on one end. “There’s a huge stone terrace, and you can walk it, and it’s really pretty, and it looks over the river,” Long says. At the opposite end is a railyard; just beyond that, trees lead the way to homes. Alternatively, residents can meander through 20 acres of Dogwood Park, with a 100-foot-tall bell tower. The Norman Gothic Revival carillon contains nearly 50 bells. Visitors can hear them from the park’s boathouse, a rustic stone building that once overlooked a lagoon. “You can rent it out for birthday parties,” Long says.

Mariemont’s Dogwood Park features a Gothic Bell Tower that stands tall and proud in Mariemont.

Little district, big results

The only thing more picture-perfect than the village’s homes are its schools, which belong to the diminutive Mariemont City Schools. This school district has almost 1,600 students and a noteworthy A-plus rating from Niche. Students attend Mariemont Elementary School, Mariemont Junior High School, and Mariemont High School. Niche grades each school A-plus.

Mariemont was developed in the 1920's to be Cincinnati's top residential friendly neighborhoods.

Wooster Pike for a trip downtown

Mariemont is as close as you can get to downtown Cincinnati. Twenty minutes behind the wheel, and commuters are there for work or play. Getting there is as simple as hopping on Wooster Pike, otherwise known as US 50, and taking the straight shot south and west along the Ohio River. Most people drive, but buses along Wooster Pike will also get travelers there. Meanwhile, traffic back home flows steadily. “Traffic is not very congested at all,” Long says.
