As its name calls to mind, the hallmark of Roselawn is its beautifully landscaped lawns and gardens accompanying attractive homes on beautifully tree-lined streets with gas and gas-like street lamps. Many of the homes built in the 1930s and 1940s have attractive Tudor styling, most built of brick and some with stone facades. In the summer, giant old oak trees completely arch over some streets. Roselawn also has plenty of apartments, most in four-family buildings. |

Another important feature of Roselawn is its location at the crossroads of almost every major expressway in the Cincinnati area, as well as Reading Road, allowing quick access to downtown, Xavier University, the University of Cincinnati and most other locations of interest in and around Cincinnati. Roselawn's close proximity to northbound and southbound Interstate 75, a few short miles from Interstate 275, as well as eastbound and westbound Ronald Reagan/ Cross County Highway and the Norwood Lateral, both of which connect to Interstate 71, make such access possible. |

Roselawn is a culturally diverse neighborhood, with its diversity reflected by its Vietnamese and soul food restaurants, an Indian grocery and a Russian delicatessen. There are activities for all ages in Roselawn, including knothole baseball, girl's softball and a wide variety of activities sponsored by the Roselawn Community Council for youth, a jazz club, and night spots for adults and programs for seniors provided by the Jewish Community Center. Roselawn Park houses a new nationally recognized baseball facility and, in May 2002, became the site of the newest 1000 Hands playground. In addition to its residential and retail areas, Roselawn includes a significant amount of office space and, carefully tucked away from the residential area, light industrial and distribution facilities providing a variety of employment opportunities. |
