Home to several historic landmarks and houses, Columbia-Tusculum is Cincinnati’s oldest neighborhood. Nicknamed the San Francisco of Cincinnati, Columbia-Tusculum is a vibrant enclave known for its multicolored Victorian houses and trendy cafes and bars. Although the neighborhood is known for its colorful historic homes, condos and apartments are also available for rent. Locals flock to independent nightlife spots like Streetside Brewery and Local Post, an old post office turned bar. Columbia-Tusculum’s liveliness is amplified but its active community council hosts multiple events throughout the year including holiday parties, bar crawls, and street festivals. For even more shopping, dining, and entertainment options, residents can easily travel into Downtown Cincinnati, which is only five miles away.
Columbia-Tusculum is located along the Ohio River, so residents have easy access to the outdoors.
