View Active Properties

Westwood is a neighborhood with an illustrious past and an inviting presence. It is Cincinnati’s largest neighborhood with 35,000 residents and was incorporated as a village in 1868 and later annexed as part of Cincinnati in 1896. The area was a residential neighborhood that grew with the expansion of the population during the 19th and mid-20th centuries. Tradesmen and professional people established residency in the “country” to get away from city smoke and odors.

The houses are typical of the architecture of the last century. Many of the palatial mansions that still grace the area were owned by some of the city’s most eminent business leaders, including James Gamble or Procter & Gamble. Through the years, Westwood has remained one of Cincinnati’s cleanest communities. There are many beautiful new sections on quiet, secluded streets that branch off the main thoroughfare. New houses seem to have inherited the handsome stability and well-established manner of Westwood’s first homes. Those looking for something different can look in both old and new sections of Westwood. In the heart of Westwood is a collection of buildings which are on the National Register of Historic Places.
