Northbrook

Located in Hamilton County

$209,850 Average Value

In a peaceful pocket of Colerain Township, Northbrook has it all; low house prices, good schools and access to plenty of parks and nature reserves. Sidewalks are a frequent sight, creating a walkable, established suburb. “Because of the affordable pricing in the area, Northbrook is an ideal place for first-time homebuyers,” says Ronald Roberto, associate broker at Re/Max Alliance. Homes here are a collection of midcentury rancher styles, from raised second stories with vinyl siding to one-level brick exteriors. No two homes are exactly alike, but they all share enough common features to give Northbrook its distinct feel. Most homes are three-bedroom, two-bathroom dwellings with prices between $150,000 to $200,000.

Students in the area can attend Taylor Elementary School, which earns an overall C-plus from Niche, and an A for diversity. They may advance to Colerain Middle School, which earns a B-minus for its teachers. The district has two high schools, Colerain and Northwest, with B-minus ratings. The district also offers a variety of academic programs such as gifted education, college preparatory courses and career vocational programs.

The neighborhood also has a bustling shopping district. Find a slew of chain restaurants and businesses along Colerain Ave on the neighborhood’s west end. For local, small business flavor, try Ninja Grill, a hibachi grill with fast service and savory dishes. Frozen dessert chain Graeter’s Ice Cream has delicious flavors available in a cup, cone or a half pint. Enjoy even more sweet offerings like specialty cakes and seasonal treats. Access department stores, specialty shops, dining options and a movie theater at the Northgate Mall are just across the street.

But maybe growing your own food is more your pace. Luckily, Northbrook has just the place for you to play in the dirt at the Northgate Community Garden. Conveniently, you can purchase plants and seeds for your garden plot around the corner at Northgate Greenhouses. Another great amenity for nature lovers is the Farbach-Werner Nature Preserve. Residents can wander the Pin Oak Trail, watch pollinators in the butterfly garden and attend nature programs in the Ellenwood Nature Barn, a structure dating back to the 1830s. The nature preserve is open from dawn to dusk with free admission. The neighborhood also shares many of its parks with the rest of the township. Just a mile from the heart of Northbrook, residents have access to Clippard Park, an ADA-accessible recreational space complete with a playground, baseball diamonds, a walking track and a skatepark. Kids can splash through the park’s “sprayground” in the summertime while parents watch from a safe, dry distance at the covered picnic shelters. Over at Colerain Park, residents can take advantage of the free Sizzling Summer Entertainment Series, a weekly event hosting movies, concerts and even live plays at the park’s outdoor amphitheater, which is also available for rent when not in use by the township. If parks aren’t enough for playful spirits, downtown Cincinnati is just 12 miles down Colerain Avenue and Interstate 75.
