Suburban neighborhood with access to retail
Erected in 1844 by Randall H. Leming, a descendant of Miami Township’s earliest settlers, the Leming House still stands on the outskirts of downtown Milford, Ohio. Once surrounded by miles of farmland, today it represents the unofficial center of Mount Repose, a suburban neighborhood home to just under 5,000 people. Although primarily residential, made up of a network of quiet streets and cul-de-sacs, U.S. Highway 28 offers easy access to local big-box shopping centers. To reach the larger city of Cincinnati, about 25 miles away, residents will have to make the 30-minute commute to major area employers like Kroger and Cincinnati Children’s. In general, Realtor Patrick Lach says it’s a welcoming type of place. “In all of the Cincinnati area, really, the question isn’t ‘What college did you go to?' it’s ‘What high school did you go to?’ It’s close-knit. If I run into someone, it’s likely they know 90% of the people I know.”

Mid-century homes and New Traditionals
The majority of homes in Mount Repose were built between 1950 and 1980 and prospective buyers will find styles reflective of the era: split-levels, bi-levels and ranch-style houses with shuttered windows ranging from just under $200,000 to $350,000. However, there are also pockets of post-2000 New Traditionals here and these larger properties — which often boast two-car garages — can sometimes sell for upwards of $500,000. Lot sizes within the neighborhood are generous, typically around 16,000 square feet, and families have enough room for front yard games of catch, basketball hoops and vegetable gardens. The neighborhood’s CAP Index Crime Score is a 3 out of 10, which is slightly below the national average of 4, and it's common to find kids bicycling down the streets or walking to and from school.

Highway 28 shopping and dining
Retail and dining are concentrated along Highway 28, where residents will find fast food chains like Wendy’s, White Castle and Skyline Chilli, a Cincinnati-area staple. Grocery options include ALDI, Kroger and Meijer. Scene75 Entertainment Center, an indoor amusement park complete with dozens of arcade games, laser tag and a full-service bar, is located farther down Highway 78. For boutique shopping and dining options, residents can visit Historic Downtown Milford, an area that’s attracted the likes of Guy Fieri with its family-owned restaurants. “He ordered our Governor Tso Chicken and grilled cheese; everyone wants those now,” says Chris Clements, manager-bartender at the restaurant, adding, “I have a lot of pride in Milford. My parents are from Milford.” According to Clements, one of the area’s appeals is its old-fashioned Main Street, complete with a shoe repair shop, dry cleaners and Harvest Market, a small-town grocery store.

The Milford Express into Cincinnati
Public transportation options within the neighborhood are limited, and most residents rely on their own cars to travel between neighborhoods. Cincinnati’s downtown is around 25 miles away, accessible via Interstate 275 or the 29X bus—also known as the Milford Express—which stops along Main Street en route to Queen City. “Biking to work is also pretty popular here,” says Lach, pointing to the Little Miami Scenic Trail, which spans 78 miles across five counties. For air travel, residents can rely on the Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International Airport, which offers more than 55 nonstop destinations. Medical care is accessible at Mercy Health-Anderson Hospital or Bethesda North.
