A thriving Cincinnati suburb with a rich culture all its own

Suburb Commuter Affordable Upscale River Parks Outdoors

Hamilton is a suburban city in southeastern Ohio, about thirty miles north of Cincinnati. The community is known for wearing its colorful history on its sleeve: the Lindenwald neighborhood is designated as a National Historic District, and beautiful examples of vintage architecture are on display all over the city, from the numerous Victorian homes to the magnificent Butler County Courthouse.

While the Downtown district is a great place to enjoy breakfast at a cozy café or have a locally-brewed pint while taking in views of the river, the city also features a large cluster of shopping centers on the northwest side of town, offering everything from grocers to hardware stores to the local multiplex movie theater. The diverse rental market features a broad range of apartments, condos, and houses, with options to suit any taste or budget.
