Space, peace and convenience just 40 miles east of Downtown Cincinnati
Forty miles east of Cincinnati via Ohio State Route 32 lies increasingly bustling Mt. Orab, which was incorporated in 1880 and is the largest village in Green Township. “It’s a longer commute to a big metropolitan area than some would like, but the road systems are good,” Mark Jordan, a Realtor with Coldwell Banker Realty, who has sold more than two dozen homes in the area, says. “And the taxes in Brown County are relatively low, compared to counties to the west, which is always attractive to homebuyers.” Residents of Mt. Orab love the peaceful streets and low cost of living, but the rural feel of the village is shifting as more people move to the area. “We’re ready for the growth, and we welcome it,” says Mayor Joe Howser. “You just don’t want too much at one time.” With the area's popularity, “there is a good amount of new-build communities being built in Mt. Orab,” Emily Foebar, a Realtor with RE/MAX Preferred Group, says. “We have a pretty diverse area. People love the space and neighbors not being on top of you. It’s peaceful without feeling isolated from all the amenities.”
Mount Orab is a community of single-family homes and some smaller multi-family buildings.

Ranch-style, bungalows and contemporary homes on large lots of land
The real estate market in Mt. Orab is very competitive, with limited inventory and increasing demand creating challenging conditions for prospective buyers. “Inventory is very low, and home prices continue to be surprisingly high,” Jordan says. “It’s crazy that what used to be a $150,000 home not that long ago is now a $200-$250,000 home.” Like the population, home construction has ballooned in Mt. Orab since 1990. There are pockets of ranch-style and bungalow-style homes, but much of the housing is more contemporary, and there continues to be a lot of new construction. Prices range from $40,000 for a ranch-style home needing a complete renovation to $1.7 million for a spacious home with 170 acres of land. In Mt. Orab, most homes are well-maintained, many residential streets have sidewalks, and much of the landscaping is immaculate. “There is pride of ownership that you can plainly see,” Jordan says. As for Crime, Mt. Orab received a Crime Score of 2 out of 10 from the CAP Index, lower than the national average.

From margaritas at Mi Camino Real to burgers at Butterbee’s American Grille
There are little business districts along West Main and South High streets, but the primary commercial center is at the interchange of U.S. Route 68 and Ohio State Route 32. “Mt. Orab is a busy little town that had the foresight to do a lot of planning,” Jordan says. “They’ve got car dealerships, a Kroger Superstore and fast food galore out there.” Tucked away behind a modest storefront in a nondescript strip mall, Mi Camino Real is an authentic Mexican restaurant that locals love. “They have friendly service and are always happy to see you,” Foebar says. “I’ve never had a bad experience there. They have large margaritas.” When it's time to catch the game, Butterbee’s American Grille is a Cincinnati favorite for its burgers and variety of meat entrees. Those looking for the consistency of a chain have their choice between Domino’s, McDonald’s, Wendy’s, Starbucks and many more. Kroger is located off U.S. Route 68, making it a convenient spot for residents to whittle down their grocery lists.
