Norwood was one of the earliest suburbs to form around Cincinnati. Once a hub of industry and innovation thanks to the railroads and nearby metropolis that fed the area, Norwood is now a picturesque enclave that attracts renters of all types.
The city of Norwood has a number of historical landmarks that contribute to the overall identity of the area. The Norwood Mound is a centuries old Native American burial ground that stands as the highest point in the area. Vineyard Central is a gorgeous 114-year-old Catholic church near the downtown district that still hosts a congregation. There are other great local spots to experience the city, not just landmarks. Grab a drink at The Wood, a popular neighborhood bar, or try Bluebird Restaurant, a classic American diner.
There are plenty of parks and golf courses around Norwood if you’re looking for fresh air. Commuters will appreciate the nearby I-71 that makes a drive to Cincinnati a breeze.
