A Colerain Township community

In Northgate, alums continue to cheer on their high school football team, families gather at community parks and shopping corridors become bustling weekend destinations. This census-designated community is one part residential and one part retail, making this a particularly desirable spot for people who value convenience. However, the presence of big-box retailers and chain establishments doesn't change the community's "small-town vibes," according to Coldwell Banker Realty sales associate Edward Lindenschmidt, who cites Colerain Township's events and midcentury homes that, with minimal renovations, have kept their character. "A lot of families have been in Northgate for a really long time," Lindenschmidt says, adding that the community's easy access to downtown Cincinnati is a major plus.

Ranch-style homes and more

Northgate's housing stock mainly consists of brick ranch-styles from the '60s and '70s. A number of Cape Cods and bi-levels are also situated along the sidewalk-lined streets. Many of these properties have either a basement or attached garage, but some residents park on the streets. Prices typically range from about $125,000 to $380,000, which reflect how, in the West Side of Cincinnati, you get much more "bang for your buck," Lindenschmidt says. Those wanting to build their own custom-built home can also purchase land. While the average lot size is just under a quarter of an acre, prospective residents may find 2 acres of land for sale. It's important to note that while some homes here receive high Flood Factor Scores, most do not.

Clippard Park, Pebble Creek Golf Course and other recreational options

In the summertime, children flock to Clippard Park to cool off on the "sprayground" — a play space with water features — while skaters practice their tricks. Here, folks can head on the paved path to get their steps in or practice their aim on the basketball court. Residents are also just a short drive from popular recreational spaces, including the 18-hole Pebble Creek Golf Course and 2,555-acre Winton Woods. At the latter, locals can enjoy horseback riding, fishing and hiking, among other activities. Over at the nearby Colerain Park, folks spend time on the sand volleyball court while others practice their swings on the baseball field.

Northwest Local School District

Some Northgate children attend Colerain Elementary, which receives a B-minus rating on Niche. Students here can take advantage of extracurricular activities, including chess, running and book clubs. They can then head to C-rated Colerain Middle, where they can join band, orchestra or choir. Afterward, many students attend B-minus-rated Colerain High, where they will have the opportunity to enroll in Butler Tech's career programs. Many students also join the school's sports teams. "People here are big supporters of the local sports teams — 1000% percent," Lindenschmidt says. "Colerain High School's football games are still regularly attended by families and alumni."

Colerain Township events

Colerain Park is also home to the Sizzling Summer Entertainment Series, which features family-friendly movies and live music performances. The community also puts on the Fourth of July Spectacular, a festive celebration where folks come together to watch the fireworks. Children spend the night bouncing on inflatables while other festivalgoers enjoy food truck offerings. Lindenschmidt says he also enjoys going to the Cincinnati Donauschwaben Oktoberfest. "There's German-style music, which I don't listen to ever, but when I go there, and I'm drinking beer, yeah, I want to hear it." Many people come to the event to peruse goods from local vendors, which sell everything from candles to clothes to bourbon apple butter.

Proximity to downtown Cincinnati

Some residents take the Metro to get around, but most drive. Northgate is conveniently bounded by Interstate 275. Residents can take the major thoroughfare to the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, which is about 31 miles away. To get to downtown Cincinnati, they can take an approximately 13-mile drive via Colerain Avenue and Interstate 75. Many people here work in the city center for major employers like Procter and Gamble. Others may work for the township or at nearby employers like Mercy Health — Fairfield Hospital, which is just 7.5 miles away via I-275. The community is also just a few miles from the Rumpke landfill and headquarters. Given this, some Northgate residents have reported unpleasant odors.

Northgate's shopping and dining options

For food out, folks can swing by the P & S Family Diner, where they can enjoy breakfast and American classics. Or they can take a seat at Kabuto Japanese Steakhouse, where dim lighting and a hibachi-style dining experience set the tone for a dinner filled with flavor and fun. This eatery is in the Northgate Mall; however, most of the mall's establishments have since shut down. "Redevelopment is happening, but the direction is still unknown," Lindenschmidt says. "You are seeing new stores and development pop up around the mall itself." Most of the other establishments in the community — many of which are situated around Colerain Avenue and Springdale Road — are either chain eateries or Stone Creek Towne Center's big box retailers. Northgate also boasts Kroger Marketplace and Meijer locations, making grocery shopping easily accessible for residents.
