Fair Verona — it may not be Italy, but the sweeping pastoral landscapes of Kentucky lay the scene. With a population of approximately 1,236, Verona offers a rural getaway from bustling city life. Besides acreage, the small town gives residents a well-rated school district and a few local businesses in the countryside.
South of Cincinnati, lush Verona is composed of a few roads alongside farmlands, barns and open fields. Both businesses and single-family houses line the streets, most with plenty of land for space from neighbors. “The people who move there like the peace and quiet of living in the country,” says Melissa Jakubowski with eXp Realty and over 15 years of experience in the area. The large yards often have garden beds decorated with bushes, and sometimes mature trees shade the homes. Prospective buyers can choose from styles like Cape Cods featuring front porches, ranch-style homes with bay windows, American Foursquares and farmhouses. Sales prices range from $155,000 for a ranch-style house to $386,000 for an American Foursquare.
Students in Verona go to Walton Verona Independent Schools, a district that earns an A-minus rating on Niche. “Verona and Walton have good schools, making the areas appealing for families looking to settle down,” Jakubowski says. Schools include Walton-Verona Elementary School, Walton-Verona Middle School and Walton-Verona High School. The elementary school has an A-minus grade, the middle school has a B-plus and the high school earns a B according to Niche. The high school has unique clubs from juggling to animated films.
The Walton-Verona Athletic Complex has a turf football and soccer field, plus a track around it open to the public during the day. The tennis courts are also for public use. The complex shares a cross-country course and trails through the woodlands with the Waller Stephenson Mill Park. At Verona Baseball Field, fans can watch the Walton-Verona Bearcats win baseball games from the bleachers.
Verona has a small business district of local retail and restaurants. To get groceries and convenience store items, residents head to Verona Market, which also has a deli counter for takeout sandwiches. Farmers can go to Air View Farm Supply for agricultural items. As for eateries, Verona Angilo's is best known for the house-breaded fish and chips dinners, plus outdoor seating in a gazebo filled with picnic tables. At Schoolyard Winery, patrons can order glasses paired with cheese boards in a remodeled high school building or sit outside by the vineyard and listen to live music. Day-trippers can visit the Cincinnati Art Museum or Findlay Market.
About 27 miles from downtown Cincinnati, residents of Verona can easily commute to the big city via Interstate 71 North.
