A variety of homes, remarkable schools and outdoor spaces
Just 22 miles from Downtown Cincinnati, the union of well-built homes, exceptional schools and an array of outdoor options have attracted homebuyers. Residents looking into the quiet and private neighborhood of Union can find anything from small ranches to larger estates, all that sit on larger plots of land in comparison to neighborhoods closer to the city. Children attend Boone County Schools, which are well-regarded in the area. One can’t talk about Union without talking about its proximity to Big Bone Lick State Historic Site and Boone County Arboretum, both of which give residents immense space to take in nature.
From ranch styles and bi-levels to new traditional homes
From single-family dwellings to townhouses and condominiums, housing styles in Union can vary. Single-family homes typically come as ranch-style, bi-level or new-traditional styles. These homes have sold for between $115,000 for a small ranch-style home up to $2.7 million for an expansive estate sitting on 48 acres of land. Union homes have more land than the neighborhoods closer to the city, giving residents a bit more privacy. With more land comes less walkability. Union is a car-dependent community backed up by its Walk Score of 0 out of 100. Condominiums and townhouses are another popular option, with most in the eastern portion of the neighborhood. These properties have sold for between $160,000 and $430,000. As for crime, the CAP Index gave Union a Crime Score of 2 out of 10, well below the national average.

Less than 25 miles from Downtown Cincinnati
For those with wanderlust, Union offers plenty of ways to travel. Interstate 71 runs on the eastern border of the neighborhood and provides residents easy access to Downtown Cincinnati. Commuters looking to make the trip into Downtown Cincinnati are looking at a 22-mile drive. “It’s so conveniently located that you can get to Lexington in an hour. You can be to Louisville in an hour and 15 minutes, so it lets you explore the rest of the state,” says Teresa Gillum, a Realtor with the My Home Team of Keller Williams Realty. For those looking to go further than those places, Northern Kentucky/Cincinnati International Airport is a 14-mile drive north. For medical attention, St. Elizabeth Florence Hospital is a 7-mile drive.
