East University Ave, Corryville

As the name implies, East University Ave. is close to University of Cincinnati. In fact, if you follow it all the way west, it will take you to the main U.C. entrance on Jefferson Ave. Corryville has changed quite a bit in the past several years and E. University is changing right along with it. There are still plenty of older buildings, both apartments, single family dwellings and businesses, but some have fallen to a wave of new construction in the area. Many more will go down before gentrification makes its final mark.

Fortunately the Corryville renovators have left a few of the old neighborhood staples. Highland Coffee House is still there on the corner of University and Highland. If's a coffee house/bar that caters to the university set. Mecklenburg Gardens is still there. They've been serving German cuisine so long their building is on the National Register of Historic Places. That means no matter how many condos they build in the neighborhood, Mecklenburg Gardens will remain standing.

E. University is close to a few shops, restaurants and Kroger for groceries on Short Vine. it's a few minutes away from shopping and restaurants in the Heights. It's got university student friendly night life in the area. It's minutes from Burnett Woods for recreation, moments from U.C, and 10 minutes away from Cincinnati State. There are several hospitals nearby
