Pleasant Ridge Neighborhood Overview
Vinyl, Chili, And The Shining Bar.
🧭Geographically defined by: Ronald Reagan Cross County Highway and Amberley Village north, Kennedy Heights and Silverton east, Norwood Lateral SR 562 and Norwood south, I-71 with Oakley and Bond Hill west
📌Best known for: Everybody's Records, Pleasant Ridge Chili which is the underdog in the chili wars that locals swear by, wildly loyal regulars
👕You'll fit in if: You compost, crate train, debate pizza geometry and have strong opinions about whether Dewey's or Adriatico's is superior
👍Move here for: Walkable Montgomery Road, tree-lined blocks, cardigan to brewery ratio that's honestly impressive for such a small neighborhood
👎The downsides are: Montgomery Road crawl at rush when it backs up for miles, sirens from the fire station that never sleeps, and bungalows need quirky repairs because nothing's been updated since 1950 and the electrical is terrifying
✨The vibe around Pleasant Ridge is: Porchy, artsy, friendly, pleasantly stubborn and fiercely protective of the neighborhood character
Porch philosophers, stroller platoons, craft beer scholars who debate hop varieties like it's a political stance
