Kennedy Heights Neighborhood Overview

Porch Jazz, Arts Mansion, Ranches

🧭Generally defined as the area: Silverton line along Montgomery Road to the north, Ridge Avenue and Amberley Village woods to the west, Red Bank Road and the Duck Creek valley to the south, I 71 corridor and Cincinnati city limit toward Kenwood to the east

📌Best known for: a mansion turned Arts Center, we're talking about the Kennedy Heights Arts Center in an actual 1920s mansion, and porch front diplomacy

👕You can spot a Kennedy Heights local by: paint flecks on shoes, Montgomery Road opinions about which carryout has the best wings, bake sale hustle supporting every school fundraiser

👍Move here if you want: old trees, new ideas, fair prices, believe it or not, ranch houses under $200k still exist here

👎Don't say we didn't warn you about: squirrels with tenure, they run this neighborhood and they know it (and so do we)

The overall feel is: leafy, artsy, neighborly, pleasantly affordable
