What’s Springing Up at Spring Hill! By Kim Beach As spring approaches, we thought we would check in with our friends at Spring Hill! Many thanks to David Middleton for sitting down with the Town Crier to give some insight about this unique Mariemont neighborhood. The Spring Hill Construction Company began initial grading of the development in 1984 with some of the units being ready for occupancy in 1986. Barry Cors was the original developer and Mariemont’s own Jack Hoddell was the architect. In 1993 the streets of Spring Hill were officially dedicated as part of the village of Mariemont. There are 32 townhomes in the neighborhood with either two or three bedrooms and beautiful wooded views. Each unit enjoys a private entrance and driveway as well. Biff Black is the current president of the Home Owners Association and oversees the interests of the neighborhood and its residents. As David and I spoke, it quickly became apparent this was a special place to live. We’d like to share with you the “Top 10 reasons to live in Spring Hill!” 1. Walkability. Only .8 miles to the Village gives residents lots of options for daily walks. 2. Greenspace. The development is lush with greenspace and woods. Breathe!
3. Close-knit. Since there are only 32 units, everyone knows each other and friendliness abounds. 4. 1st Floor Master bedrooms. A big selling point for most of the condos is the convenience of one floor living. 5. 2nd Homes. Because most residents have downsized, a second home becomes more affordable.
Stone columns adorn the entrance to Spring Hill on Wooster Pk.
6. Turn-key. The condo life makes it easy to pick up and leave for last minute trips and adventures. 7. Shopping & Dining. Whether it’s a quick trip to Kroger, a last-minute outfit at Snooty Fox, or a yummy burger at Flipdaddy’s, there are lots of shopping/ dining options that can be accessed by foot, bike or car. 8. Privacy. Tucked away off Wooster Pike, Spring Hill has a ski-resort type feel (think Aspen or Vail). 9. 9 Miles. Only 9 miles to Downtown Cincinnati allows for easy access to all the city has to offer.
The architecture is a mix of stone and wood.
10. Great Neighbors. Coming from neighborhoods all over Cincinnati (Terrace Park, Indian Hill, Hyde Park and more), the residents of Spring Hill are active in our community and proud to call this exceptional neighborhood “home”! Many of the homes have great outdoor living spaces.
