Mt. Auburn / Prospect Hill

Cincinnati's first 'suburb' came to be when downtown and Over-the-Rhine dwellers began to crawl out of the once sooty basin seeking the fresh country air of the surrounding hillsides. At Mt. Auburn's base, homes in the eclectic Prospect Hill Historic District cling to the swift rising slope (stop in at Milton's bar if the climb up Sycamore Street proves too much) providing gorgeous, panoramic views of downtown, Mt. Adams and Northern Kentucky.  At the top of the hill, Mt. Auburn hosts its own millionaire's row, now home to medical offices and organizations, along modern day Auburn Avenue (including the birth home of bathtub bursting President and Supreme Court Justice William Howard Taft).  Home to Christ Hospital, one of the oldest medical facilities in Cincinnati and a perennial national contender for top heart hospital, and three city parks and tennis courts, you're sure to keep your ticker in tip top shape.  This diverse community offers multiple, affordable living options including single family historic homes, student apartment housing, and gorgeous Italianate mansions.
