Neighborhood Spotlight: Oakley

Oakley, named for all its oak trees, is a bustling neighborhood bordering Pleasant Ridge, Madisonville, and Hyde Park. Oakley's business district, "Oakley Square," lies along Madison Road, and it's located at a major crosstown artery in Cincinnati. Yet, Oakley is known for being pedestrian-friendly, as well as its parks, retail, and restaurants.

"Oakley is an area we know well," says Megan Stacey, owner of the Megan Stacey Group, Coldwell Banker Realty. "It has lots of charm, shops, usability and things to do."

Stacey says the neighborhood is centered around Oakley Square. "There are lots of events for all ages here," she adds. "Oakley is an awesome spot to hang out. Whether you're looking for a great cup of coffee or ice cold beer, it's a fun place to be."

It's a great place to shop, too. "We love supporting local. My team and I all find ourselves popping into different Oakley shops often," Stacey says. "Some wonderful boutiques, toy stores and bookstores are all around here."

Want to live in an area that supports your active lifestyle? Oakley boasts several parks and the ever-expanding Wasson Way Trail. "There's a lot of energy here in Oakley," she explains. "You'll find running clubs, people walking their dogs, the parks are a big draw to this area. It's a really active lifestyle here."

Stacey says Oakley's location and diversity of real estate are big draws. "Oakley is really central, right near 71 and the Norwood Lateral, only about 10 minutes from both hospitals in Clifton and downtown Cincinnati," she explains. "And best of all, Oakley has housing options for all buyers. From resale to newly constructed homes, two family homes, single family and new developments. Lots of options."
