Madisonville Neighborhood Overview

Mad On Whetsel: Porches, Murals, Mojo.

🧭Bordered by: Red Bank Expressway and the Duck Creek valley west, Wooster Pike US 50 and Fairfax along the Little Miami south, Miami Avenue then Camargo Road at the Madeira line east, Langdon Farm Road, Ridge Avenue, and Duck Creek Road near Pleasant Ridge north

📌Best known for: Red Bank corridor boom where new apartments keep sprouting like weeds and porch culture on streets with century-old trees

👕You can spot a Madisonville local by: bike basket, rescue dog, Mad Llama cup from the coffee shop that anchors Whetsel Avenue

👍Locals live here because: century homes, new lofts, river valley sunsets, quick commutes to downtown or the east side suburbs

👎Be prepared for: relentless construction dust from all the redevelopment and Red Bank speed demons treating the Expressway like the Autobahn

The vibe around Madisonville is: porch proud quietly eclectic and in the middle of figuring out who it wants to be

porch sitters, pickleballers, and patio philosophizing at MadTree which is technically here even though Oakley claims it
