North Avondale map

North Avondale Neighborhood Overview

Porches, Turrets, Rose Hill Swagger

🧭Bordered by: Reading Road east, Norwood Lateral and Paddock Road north, I-75 and the Mill Creek valley west, Clinton Springs Avenue and Rockdale Avenue south along Avondale

📌Well known for: Storybook mansions, seriously, some of these look like Disney designed them, rolling hills, legacy garden clubs where memberships get passed down through generations

👕You'll fit in if: You collect vintage door knockers unironically and know the architectural difference between Tudor Revival and Colonial Revival

👍Move here for: Space, serenity, and architecture, peacocking houses that make you want to give tours

👎The downsides are: Property taxes that make your spreadsheet blush because big houses mean big bills

The overall feel is: Leafy, stately, slightly smug in the way that comes from living in historic beauty

Porch gawkers and Tudor mansion daydreamers who slow down just to stare at the architecture
