South Cumminsville

While South Cumminsville is most commonly known for its numerous ball fields, convenience to downtown and family atmosphere, a random poll of South Cumminsville residents would probably reveal one more amenity: Mr. Gene's Dog House. Home to arguably the best hot chili cheese mett and chocolate malt in this area, Mr. Gene's Dog House has done its part to uphold Cincinnati's reputation as the chili capital of the world.

After filling up on Mr. Gene's, Wayne Fields and Hille Fields are both nearby and offer popular recreation areas where softball leagues and area high school teams frequently play. South Cumminsville residents also enjoy their proximity to the I-74/I-75 interchange with quick commutes to Mt. Airy Forest, downtown, Clifton and the University of Cincinnati.

Within the 0.87 square miles of South Cumminsville reside 4,400 residents.
