this neighborhood

Mt. Washington is a family-oriented neighborhood located at the eastern edge of Cincinnati's city limits. Once part of the vast Virginia Military District, Mt. Washington has existed since 1790. The soldiers of Virginia, including George Washington, were rewarded for their service with land, but few settled it, choosing to sell it instead. Mt. Washington was first settled by Baptist minister John Corbly and farmer Stephen Sutton. Corbly Road and Sutton Avenue still pay homage to those two men.

All of the major East Side bus routes serve Beechmont Avenue, which cuts through the heart of Mt. Washington's business district. The business district has a mix of old-fashioned and new retail stores. The area is home to a large number of churches and a variety of recreational activities, including horseback riding and golf. Downtown is about 20 minutes away.

Mt. Washington covers an area of more than three square miles and has a population of 12,200. The farthest east of Cincinnati's neighborhoods, Mt. Washington attracts families, couples and singles of all ages, interested in taking advantage of the great outdoors and suburban life with all the amenities and conveniences of city living.

Stanbery Park
Oxford Ave.
North of Corbly

From the entrance this park looks little with only a small playground and one softball field. But keep walking toward the back and you will find a National Trail System nature trail that goes for miles and a large stone shelter with picnic facilities. It is absolutely beautiful (and your dog will love it.)
