Bond Hill Neighborhood Overview

Gardens Ghosts, Goetta, Reading Road Rush

🧭Generally defined as the area: North by Seymour Avenue and Langdon Farm Road, south by the Norwood Lateral SR 562, west along Paddock Road and Mill Creek rail tracks, east at the Norwood city line near I-71 and Duck Creek Road

📌Well known for: Reading Road chicken joints where the fried chicken is worth the wait and the heart attack and Cincinnati Gardens nostalgia where the Royals played before the arena was demolished in 2018

👕You can spot a Bond Hill local by: Grippos crumbs in cupholders because Cincinnati's own BBQ chips are superior and that's a fact

👍Locals live here because: Expressway access, I-71 and the Lateral make commuting easy, soulful neighbors, real yards

👎The downsides are: Norwood Lateral roar and fearless cut throughs when people use your street like a racetrack to avoid traffic

The general vibe is: Porch proud, rooted, highway handy and some epic community cookouts

Porches, block cookouts, Sunday best swagger such as church hats that deserve their own parade
