While going to Smale Riverfront Park or visiting the Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden are top picks for locals and visitors alike, Cincinnati is also home to many other incredible, if lesser known, attractions and activities to enjoy<\/a>, like the ones shared at Cincinnati Magazine<\/a>. Similarly, in their efforts to find a new apartment<\/a> or home, people may also deliberate between popular Cincinnati neighborhoods like Oakley, OTR and Downtown Cincinnati<\/a> and some of the emerging neighborhoods within the city limits and beyond. Below, explore several of the many up-and-coming locations, specifically three East Cincinnati neighborhoods.<\/p>\n

East Cincinnati Neighborhoods to Explore<\/h2>\n

Regarding neighborhoods on the east side of Cincinnati, Hyde Park<\/a> is frequently and deservedly highlighted. However, nearby or even adjacent neighborhoods to Hyde Park may offer similar benefits to residents, even though the potential of these locations may not be as widely known. Here are three East Cincinnati neighborhoods that are gaining more and more popularity for individuals looking to reside in this area.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Madisonville<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Bordered by Oakley and Hyde Park to the west, it\u2019s no surprise that interest in Madisonville<\/a> continues to grow. This commuter-friendly Cincinnati neighborhood similarly offers a short travel time to the Central Business District and the surrounding attractions of downtown. Besides the offerings in places like Hyde Park, Madisonville also has its own array of community events throughout the year, not to mention various shopping, dining and entertainment opportunities. If you enjoy spending time outside, there are various parks and other green spaces in town, but the celebrated Ault Park and Otto Armleder Memorial Park are just minutes away.<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. \n

      Pleasant Ridge<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      North of Oakley, Pleasant Ridge<\/a> is smaller in size and population than its neighbor. However, greater affordability and a walkable historic district are just two of the reasons for Pleasant Ridge’s appeal. Like Madisonville, it is also in a convenient location with access to two major roadways and has a strong community feel. If you are looking for apartments near Downtown Cincinnati<\/a> that may offer more space to enjoy and are in a neighborhood with its own unique charm, you may want to consider an East Cincinnati neighborhood like Pleasant Ridge.<\/p>\n

        \n
      1. \n

        East Walnut Hills<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        In addition to the Cincinnati neighborhoods to the north and east of Oakley and Hyde Park, East Walnut Hills, found to the west of these communities, is another location of growing interest. This neighborhood is home to Scarborough Woods and Annwood Park, with its serene waterfall, and also adjoins the beloved Eden Park. While it has its own assortment of dining and shopping establishments, East Walnut Hills is also even closer to other popular locations like Downtown Cincinnati or Over-the-Rhine than other communities on the east side of the city.<\/p>\n

        East Cincinnati Living at Centennial Station<\/h2>\n

        If you are considering moving to a Cincinnati neighborhood on the east side of the city, then Centennial Station<\/a> may be just the place you\u2019ve been searching for! The prime location of these apartments in the Madisonville neighborhood enables renters to enjoy all that this community and area have to offer. However, its location is only one of many reasons to choose this apartment community for your next home.<\/p>\n

        Centennial Station is a pet-friendly Cincinnati apartment community<\/a>. Here, you\u2019ll find several different floor plans<\/a>, ranging from studios to two-bedroom apartments. Both the in-unit and community amenities<\/a> further distinguish the residential experience at Centennial Station. Some notable apartment features include the availability of private patios\/balconies, nine-foot ceilings, an integrated alarm system, and a full-sized washer and dryer. Residents also have access to a resort-style pool, one-acre dog park and nature trail, picnic area, and outdoor grills, as well as a basketball court, 24-hour fitness center, and historic mansion clubhouse for entertaining.<\/p>\n

        To start exploring all that this property has to offer, please check out the available virtual tour <\/a>and photo gallery<\/a>! You can also find out even more on the FAQ page<\/a>. This guide includes answers to common questions about current rental rates, availability and move-in specials, as well as utilities, the application process and parking availability. To schedule an in-person tour, please contact the leasing specialists at this location<\/a> to arrange a time that works for you.<\/p>\n
