Welcome to the Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky area! Downtown Cincinnati is the heart of the city. It's focal point, Fountain Square, sometimes referred to as the city's living room, is completing a $42 million makeover. Downtown offers all kinds of living options- efficiencies, luxury apartments, renovated lofts, restored historic buildings, and high rise condominiums.
The 18 story American Building, which sits right next to the Taft Museum of Art, offers more than 100 condos with all the amenities--spectacular views, top security, gardens and spas. Park Place at Lytle, also next to the Taft, is believed to be downtown's largest condo renovation. The old McAlpin offers 60 luxury New York- style residences with balconies, dramatic interiors and atriums. More condos are being planned on the site of the Montgomery Inn Banquet Center to be called One River Plaza, at the foot of the Purple People Bridge. The project will feature 2 towers of 9 and 12 stories totaling 140 condos planned for completion in 2009. Gateway condos in Over-The-Rhine will add hundreds of apartments and condos to the neighborhood.
Downtown residents enjoy the short stroll to many fine resaurants, including the Palace, Palm Court/ Orchids, Jeff Ruby's Steakhouse, Jean-Robert at Pigall's, JeanRo, Mejana, McCormick & Schmick's, or shopping at Fountain Place's Macy's, Brooks Brothers, Jos. A. Banks, Tiffany's and the more than 60-stores at Tower Place Mall. There are gift and flower shops, beauty parlors,apparel and jewelry stores, delis and mini-markets. Also located here are venues such as the Aronoff Center for the Arts, U.S. Bank Arena, the Paul Brown Stadium and the Great American Ball Park. The National Underground Railroad Freedom Center and the Contemporary Arts Center and Taft Museum of Art are also here. Compact and convenient, downtown is home to some 4,000 residents. Most of the city's neighborhoods are a short commute to downtown, where the average drive is 22 minutes.
