South Fairmount blends industrial heritage with new green infrastructure on the west side of Cincinnati, offering quick access to downtown via Queen City and Westwood avenues and I-75. Framed by the hills of Price Hill and Westwood, it sits in the heart of Hamilton County while keeping a neighborhood pace that’s easy to settle into.
The neighborhood’s signature attraction is the reimagined Lick Run Greenway, a miles-long daylighted stream and park corridor that adds trails, overlooks, and native plantings while managing stormwater with cutting-edge design. Explore its paths and bridges through the official Lick Run Greenway site for details on amenities and events. A few minutes up the hill, Cincinnati Parks’ Rapid Run Park offers wooded trails, a lake, ballfields, and playgrounds—an outdoor complement to the Greenway’s urban nature vibe.
Families are served by Cincinnati Public Schools, known for neighborhood schools and diverse magnet programs, with enrollment tools and calendars available through the CPS website. Higher education and workforce training are close at hand at Cincinnati State Technical and Community College, a regional hub for technology, culinary, and healthcare programs. Commuters have straightforward bus service along Queen City Avenue via Metro, making car-light living realistic.
Housing here ranges from early 20th‑century worker cottages and brick four-squares to refreshed infill, attracting buyers seeking value and proximity to evolving amenities. Whether you’re buying or selling, Agent Pronto can connect you with a great local real estate agent to guide your next move.
