View Active Properties

Cumminsville was incorporated in 1865 and annexed with Cincinnati in 1873. It was originally populated by German immigrants. The northern part of the area later was called Northside while the southern area is called South Cumminsville. The area grew through the 1920s with shops, businesses and manufacturing. Knowlton’s Corner was one of the busiest commercial areas in Cincinnati. Following WWII, with the grow of automobiles and highways, the demand for housing in the area waned. By the 1960s, most industry in the area had left.

The South Cumminsville Community Council (SCCC) is active in working on neighborhood improvements. The South Cumminsville United For Better Housing (SCUBFH) works on building up homeownership in the neighborhood. One finds older home built in the early 1900s in this neighborhood.
