Historic Columbia-Tusculum is Cincinnati's oldest riverfront community, and one of its most scenic neighborhoods. Once a steamboat manufacturing center it now claims one of the city’s most dramatic renovation success stories.
The neighborhood’s "Grand Old Painted Ladies" color the climbing street’s Victorian homes and ornamental front porches instilling residential pride in the community that manifests itself into community-inspired beautification projects.
The neighborhood is also growing substantially. Alongside the historic Victorian housing stock, recent development has seen the addition of new condominiums and popular restaurants including Allyn’s Café, The Precinct and The Four Seasons Marina Restaurant.
