Roselawn Neighborhood Overview

Eruv To Jerk: Route 43's Roselawn Remix

34of 36 Cincinnati Neighborhoods

🧭Generally defined as the area: Reading Road west, Seymour Avenue north, Amberley Village along Section Road and Ridge Road east, Losantiville Avenue, Golf Manor and Pleasant Ridge south

📌Well known for: soul food such as the Caribbean spots on Reading Road, cricket Sundays at Roselawn Park, synagogue heritage from when this was Cincinnati's Jewish hub

👕You'll fit in if: spotless kicks, louder laughs and you bring a dish to share at cookouts

👍Move here for: ranch houses, room to tinker, actual garages and basements for projects

👎The downsides are: sirens (Reading Road fire station), speed traps (cops love Section Road), winter pothole roulette because the streets get rough after freeze-thaw cycles

✨The overall feel is: laid back, porch proud, culturally diverse and quietly getting by

deli runs (Izzy's is legendary), backyard DJs and block parties that go late
