Neighborhood Spotlight: Northside

Thanks to The Gibler Team for giving us a peek into what makes Northside so unique -- click on the video above!

Fun, eclectic, and diverse. Those are the words many people use to describe this unique neighborhood.

Located five miles Northwest of Downtown Cincinnati, Northside is a hotbed of creativity, and a popular destination for entertainment, restaurants, and shopping. It features dozens of independently-owned businesses along a two-mile stretch of US-127/Hamilton Avenue and its cross streets.

The Northside Business District is situated along Hamilton and Spring Grove Avenues, and the Hoffner Historic District, boasting distinctive Italianate architecture that reflects the city’s German roots. The walkability and social connections of Northside’s business district is a big part of why people choose to visit or make their home here. Northside’s population has remained overwhelmingly diverse over much of the past several decades—despite a rapid increase in redevelopment, and a surge of popularity.

In August 2020, Northside Prep Academy opened in a beautiful historic building. Its accredited K-8 technology-based academic program is designed to accelerate student learning and readiness, with an emphasis on making a difference in the community.

In the neighborhood parks, pubs, restaurants, and shops, you’ll find local business owners, artists and musicians, young families and older residents who have raised their children here, arts administrators, young professionals, college students and educators, as well as skilled-laborers and technicians—often with the shared vested interest in maintaining the community spirit that makes Northside so special.
