A well-established community where families stay for generations
A network of hilly, residential streets make up the majority of White Oak, Ohio, where about 20,000 people live on the outskirts of Cincinnati. With the exception of commercial activity along Cheviot Road, it’s a quiet community — the kind of place where, according to Coldwell Banker’s Kathie Currier, “locals spend their weekends watching youth athletics at Groesbeck Park and grilling out with neighbors in the backyard.” Although most of the homes were built in the 1970s or before, recent years have seen the emergence of new subdivisions to the west supporting a growing number of Cincinnati commuters. The larger city is about 10 miles, or 20 minutes, south. In the words of Amy Getgey of Comey & Shepard, “It is a well-established neighborhood. People who live in White Oak tend to love White Oak...They also tend to stay there.”
One of White Oak’s main appeals is its proximity to Cincinnati, which has grown exponentially in recent years thanks to the healthcare, tech and manufacturing industries. Major employers include Cincinnati Children’s, The University of Cincinnati and Procter & Gamble. “It is very accessible to downtown,” says Getgey. “You can easily maneuver around the city from White Oak.”
Just ten miles northwest of Cincinnati, White Oak is a comfortable, suburban area.

Refurbished midcentury homes and new subdivisions
Most of the homes in White Oak date back to the middle of the 20th century, and architecture is characteristic of the era. Prospective buyers will find ranch-style houses, split-levels and bi-levels on compact lots. Attached garages are standard. The median sale price for a home in White Oak is around $245,000, significantly less than the national median. “What I see happening is that as young people are looking for more affordable housing, you see a lot of the properties turning over and being renovated,” says Getgey. There are also new subdivisions like Squirrel Run and Copper Creek, where lot sizes often exceed half an acre and prices can surpass $600,000. Condo units, meanwhile, can sell for under $150,000.

Small businesses along Cheviot Road
According to Getgey, most of the area’s shopping and dining is concentrated along Cheviot Road. “It’s kind of a main thoroughfare,” she says. “There are small, independent businesses like White Oak Gardens, where we always get our Christmas tree.” Restaurant options include Grace of India and Marco’s Pizza for takeout, and Knotty Pine Bar hosts live music several nights a week. Some residents also participate in the bar’s volleyball, pool and dart leagues. There are more retail opportunities in Groesbeck and Northgate, where shoppers will find big-box stores and plenty of grocery options.
Family Groceries International Market near White Oak offers items from around the world.

A 10-mile commute to Cincinnati

The 10-mile trip typically takes around 20 minutes, depending on traffic. Medical care is accessible at Mercy Health–West Hospital, about 3 miles away, and the nearest airport is Cincinnati-Northern Kentucky International.

The GreatSchools Rating helps parents compare schools within a state based on a variety of school quality indicators and provides a helpful picture of how effectively each school serves all of its students. Ratings are on a scale of 1 (below average) to 10 (above average) and can include test scores, college readiness, academic progress, advanced courses, equity, discipline and attendance data. We also advise parents to visit schools, consider other information on school performance and programs, and consider family needs as part of the school selection process.

Old and new homes dot the gentle hills and winding curves of White Oak West. Situated northwest of Cincinnati and surrounded by major interstates, the neighborhood offers residents both locally loved restaurants and access to the region's more populous hotspots.
Raised ranch-style homes with low-pitched roofs cater to the neighborhood's sloping hills and typically include an attached garage and driveway. These, along with 1930s-era Cape Cods and bi-levels, are listed between $200,000 and $400,000. Newer housing options—including a brand-new development on Shadow Hawk Drive—line cul-de-sac streets branching out from the main roads and range from $435,000 to $570,000, with the largest models reaching up to $815,000. New Traditional homes and custom, open-concept builds feature large exterior windows, geometric roofs, or Queen Anne-style towers. Half-acre lots typically provide enough space for residents to build a pool, set up a trampoline or cultivate a garden in the backyard. A few private drives fully sequester houses from traffic-prone streets, granting residents another layer of privacy enhanced by the overarching canopies of oak and maple trees.
Public school students can start their education at Monfort Heights Elementary School, which earns a B from Niche. White Oak Middle School earns a C and is less than a mile east of Cheviot Road. In 2023, the school sent six students to the National Leadership Conference in Anaheim, California, to explore special interests like prepared speech, graphic design and financial literacy. Niche rates Colerain High School a B-minus. Several private schools also have a strong presence in White Oak West and surrounding communities. St. Ignatius of Loyola School and St. James School house kindergarten through eighth-grade students. St. Ignatius earns an A from Niche, while La Salle High School earns an A-minus.
"What the area offers is accessibility within five minutes to three major highways," says Joe Knab, a RE/MAX Preferred Group Associate who has lived in White Oak West for 68 years. "I-74 takes you towards downtown Cincinnati or Indiana; Cross County Highway takes you to the east side of town; and I-275 is a beltway around the Cincinatti area and encompasses all three states, Ohio, Kentucky and Indiana. The geographical area provides easy access to get out of town, get into town, or get to the far east side of town. No matter which way I want to go, I'm on the highway in minutes." White Oak West is also situated 4.5 miles from TriHealth Group Health - Western Ridge and 2.5 from the emergency room at Mercy Health - West Hospital. Folks can cross the state border on I-75 to reach Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport in about 23 miles.
Cheviot Road divides east and west White Oak with shops, restaurants and service centers. Residents can grab dinner necessities at Langen Meats and Fine Wines, enjoy a hot coffee and a bagel in the company of neighbors at White Oak Coffee House, eat lunch at LaRosa's Pizza White Oak and stop for a car wash on the way back. By turning onto North Bend Road, folks can run through their grocery list at Kroger, choose between shelves of toys and kibble at Petco and pick up a prescription at Walgreens. "I usually leave and make a 10-minute drive towards Harrison Avenue, in Green Township," Knab offers as an alternative. This thoroughfare serves as Cheviot's downtown strip and is home to local favorites like Up Up and Away Comics and Legends Bar & Venue. Nearby Glenway Avenue offers even more shopping at Target, TJ Maxx and other big-box retailers.
Haubner Field and St. James Athletic Fields unite the community for youth soccer, football and baseball games. Folks sit under shade at Habner while enjoying ample concessions and watching their Little League tots tee off. Nature lovers and adventurous kids spend hours under leafy shade at Mount Airy Forest's paved and unpaved trails, giant treehouse and disc golf course—all of which are 4.5 miles from White Oak West.
"Habner Field is used for a couple of different things throughout the year, like fundraisers and a family night in September," Knab says of an evening sponsored by the White Oak Athletic Club. "Now and then they'll have a fundraiser for someone in the community who is ill. It's a very friendly area. People take care of each other here." The community's small businesses host other events for locals. The White Oak Garden Center becomes festive around the holidays with "Little Sprouts" Easter egg hunts and make-and-take workshops. Neighbors gather a group or roll solo for birthday parties and friendly competition at Heidi Bowling Lanes.
"White Oak West is actually split between Green Township and Colerain Township, but they're in the same zip code," Knab says. "There's another adjoining community called Monfort Heights that I would call a 'sister' type community. They border each other, and you drive through one to get to the other."
