Mature trees and charming colonial architecture
The curving streets of Walnut Hills are lined with mature trees. “There are many different housing styles and sizes,” McNulty says. “You could have a little bungalow, or you could have a 5,000 or 6,000-square-foot house. A lot of these homes are going to be older — built in the 30s, 40s and 50s.” These houses are typically set back on wooded lots that range from a quarter-acre to an acre. Most homes have long driveways that parallel the spacious, leafy front lawns. The abundance of trees and neat landscaping provide a great sense of privacy and seclusion to these properties. In Walnut Hills, a three-bedroom, three-bathroom brick transitional-style home on a half-acre lot costs around $450,000 while a four-bedroom, four-bathroom colonial on an acre of land costs around $800,000. According to McNulty, the housing market is still very good in this area. “If the house is good, it sells,” she says.
Every home in Walnut Hills is nestled in serene beauty.
