Ida St, Mount Adams

Ida is a cute little street in Mt. Adams that's pretty much all residential. You can find some gorgeous homes on this street, including rental properties. Keep in mind, though, that they're all spaced very close together, and not all have garage space. That being said, it's definitely a high-demand street because of its properties and location.

The best part about Ida St. is that it's not located directly on the main strip--this means that you avoid having the drunken late-night crowds outside your window, but still have access to the bars and restaurants that make Mt. Adams such a fun neighborhood. The Blind Lemon, the Mt. Adams Bar & Grill, Longworth's...there are plenty of dining and nightlife options within walking distance.

Also within walking distance is the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park, a Tony Award-winning theater that puts on some truly excellent performances each year. You can see the upcoming season here: http://www.cincyplay.com/shows/. Keep walking in that direction and you'll find the Cincinnati Art Museum, also nationally-renowned and a great place to spend an afternoon. One of the oldest art museums in the country, it houses a number of changing exhibitions and also offers events throughout the year. Check the museum's most recent exhibitions here: http://www.cincinnatiartmuseum.org/explore/exhibitions/current-exhibitions.

Also on Ida is the Ida Street Bridge, which will give you a fantastic westward view of Over the Rhine, most notably Music Hall. Ida St. is a pretty excellent place to live, if you ask me, though be prepared for some high price tags. The location especially has put homes on this street in high demand.
