Mulberry has shopping, schools and commuter convenience
Mulberry is part of Miami Township, a larger suburb on the eastern side of the Cincinnati metro. The community has many single-family homes and condos within minutes of shopping centers with restaurants, chain stores and even an indoor amusement park. Mulberry also offers access to neighboring Milford’s well-rated schools. Sandy Burkhart-Williams, a Realtor with Huff Realty, says the homebuyer makeup is “very diversified.” “I would say there’s probably more of the first-time homebuyers or empty nesters in this area,” she says. “But then you have your families, too, because the Milford school district is popular.” Another convenience here is the proximity to Interstate 275, a major commuter route. “People like to live here because of the easy access to downtown [Cincinnati]. It’s for people who work downtown, but don’t want to live downtown,” Burkhart-Williams says. “I-275 forms a circle around the Cincinnati area.”
Homes are in subdivisions with amenities
Most homes here were built between the mid-20th century and today. Many are in smaller communities and subdivisions that charge homeowners association fees of $4 to $410. Many roads here have no sidewalks, but that doesn’t keep residents from going on daily walks. Mulberry also has a few unpaved, wooded trails and a couple of small neighborhood complexes with community pools. Houses here include ranch-style, Craftsman, Colonial Revival and New Traditional homes. Most homes that are under 2,200 square feet sell from about $180,000 to $390,000. Several larger homes go from $400,000 to $650,000. Size also affects condo costs, and those sell roughly between $130,000 and $400,000. There are also townhouses that go from about $160,000 to $320,000.
Mulberry offers chains and proximity to Milford dining
Many don’t need to travel far to eat out or shop. Butterbee’s American Grille offers a casual spot for cold beers and bar fare. Its patrons may also watch sports on numerous televisions set up around the bar. May-Thai serves curry dishes and Chinese takeout favorites like chow mein and sweet and sour chicken. Grocery chains here include Meijer and Kroger. The community is also a few miles east of downtown Milford’s dining scene. Milford’s Nation Kitchen and Bar is a favorite for burgers and brunch. The restaurant has a variety of artwork, including a humorous mural of activists demanding beer and burgers. “If you want a night out, you’re probably going to go to the village of Milford,” Burkhart-Williams says. “But Mulberry has easy access to all the chains.”
Amenities range from community park to entertainment center
Miami Township Community Park offers 17 acres of recreational space just east of Mulberry. Its amenities include tennis and pickleball courts, a disc golf course and a couple of pavilions used for live music shows and picnics. The park also has the historic Leming House, a 19th century Colonial Revival building often used for parties. After it snows during the winter, many come out to the park to go tubing. Cyclists and joggers may get on the Little Miami Scenic Trail, a 78-mile path that passes through numerous cities and towns. Mulberry also has Scene75, a small, Midwest-based chain that offers dining and a large variety of entertainment. The center's attractions include go-karts, gaming arcades, bounce houses and bowling.
