Montgomery

The spirit of Montgomery is anything but old-fashioned. Montgomery has enjoyed being consistently rated as one of the top communities for the Cincinnati area. Single-family homes, townhouses, condominiums and apartments of almost every design are found there. Many homes in the neighborhood are new, having replaced older residences. Because strict zoning requirements have maintained a spacious wooded environment, the area has a lovely suburban atmosphere. And since new homes, for the most part, have followed the pattern of Montgomery’s heritage, a traditional flavor is predominant throughout. As a wonderful place in which to reside, this neighborly community is second to none.
