"Another college student-friendly area"
The small strip of Auburn Ave. that's in Corryville, just about two blocks, contains only a few buildings. The block to the south of McMillan Ave. is the beginning of the historic district that's mostly within the Mt. Auburn neighborhood. On the east side of the block is a beautiful old building that houses offices. On the west side there's an old abandoned church that was once very beautiful as well.
To the north, the block of Auburn Ave. that's between McMillan and William Howard Taft has a large old, refurbished apartment building on one side and the rear of the Cinco Credit Union on the other.
There's not much else in this little strip, but there's plenty nearby. Residents or office workers have a choice of shopping areas nearby on Short Vine. It's an area undergoing renewal and transition, so there's not a whole lot to buy. You can still find several restaurants, a Kroger for groceries, a Walgreens and a BP for gas. The Heights is 2 minutes away on William Howard Taft Rd./Calhoun St. There you'll find more restaurants, stores, a Fedex and more student housing.
This area is just one more section of Corryville that's pretty much a haven for U.C. students, but until they take over completely, you'll find a few of the services the non-student residents need. There's a recreation center on nearby Eden Ave. Christ Hospital is on Auburn Ave. to the south and University Hospital is to the north, along with several other medical facilities. Several bus routes service the area. It's close to several Mt. Auburn parks and 10 minutes away from Burnett Woods Park.
