East Charlton St, Corryville

East Charlton St. is lined with older homes, mostly well maintained. It begins at Eden Ave and is only a few blocks long. It's another one of the streets where you are likely to find either students or a traditional family living there. It's minutes away from University of Cincinati. In fact, if you follow the street all the way west, you'll end up on the U.C. campus. East Charlton's proximity to U.C. is what puts it on the list of streets to be developed by the Uptown Crossing Community Urban Redevelopment Corporation: http://www.uc.edu/af/commdev/UCCURC.html.

Before it reaches U.C. East Charlton St. takes you right through the heart of the "Short Vine" business district: http://shortvineonline.com/index.php?id=3. For years, Bogart's Entertainment on "Short Vine" has been hosting shows featuring every genres of music you can imagine. There are restaurants and a few shops on the street as well. There are more entertainment, shopping and dining options on nearby McMillan and in the Heights area.

For recreation, Charlton Ave. is walking distance to Corryville Recreation Center. The Zoo is a 10 minute drive away, as is Burnett Woods. For schooling there are several Cincinnati Public Schools nearby and a Catholic elementary school on Calhoun. U.C. is walking distance and Cincinnati State is a 10 minute drive away.

Charlton is walking distance for those who attend U.C. or work at University and other nearby Hospitals. While the area waits for redevelopment it continues to struggle with occasional crime.
