"Sayler Park: Cincinnati's Own Small Town"
Imagine in your mind the quintessential small town, and you’ll have a good idea of what Sayler Park looks like. The neighborhood juts out of the Western half of Cincinnati like an arm extending alongside the Ohio River. Though technically part of Cincinnati proper, Sayler Park has its own unique feel that seems, well, out of place. In my opinion, it’s more suitable as its own small town as opposed to a neighborhood belonging to the city.
Though not necessarily a well-known neighborhood today, Sayler Park gained notoriety after a record-breaking F5 tornado blasted the area back in the 1970s. Much of the area was demolished, but the beautiful properties that stand there today would never give that away. Lining the streets are many independent businesses, some of them related to the riverside culture that has undoubtedly flourished here. Some examples include Catalina Harbor, Hidden Cove Marina, Leimann’s Marine, Mariner’s Landing, and Cabana on the River, a fun and active outdoor restaurant with an incredible view of sunsets over the Ohio River.
Aside from local businesses, you’ll find some beautiful properties lining the streets. Homes are generally old Victorians. Some of these homes are absolutely stunning, painted in bright colors with grand, sloping roofs. You can immediately tell that homes and lawns are well-cared-for, adding to the neighborhood’s charm and appeal.
Overall, I recommend this area for people looking for somewhere with a small-town feel. Sure, it’s sleepy, but it’s also quaint and charming, not to mention safe. An added bonus is obviously its proximity to the city. Sayler Park would be especially convenient for anyone looking for a boat-friendly neighborhood--the many docks and marinas located here make boating on the Ohio very practical.

"Sayler Park, a quiet step back in time"
Sayler Park is a peaceful and unique community on the western edge of Cincinnati. Dubbed as "Cincinnati's Western Gateway" it is like taking a step back in time. You would never know from looking at it that Sayler Park is part of Cincinnati, as it looks likes its own small town. Established in 1911, many of the buildings and homes look just as they did early in the last century despite many being destroyed or severely damaged in an F5 tornado in 1974. You could never tell the tornado happened by looking at the neatly manicured and landscaped lawns surrounding the elegantly painted wood and brick homes of the early 20th century.
Sayler Park is sits along the Ohio River on River Road/US Route 50 as you head towards Indiana. There are a number of small businesses typical of what you would find in a small town. There are a handful of places to eat or get food, including Cabana On the River, Sayler Park Pizza, and some fast food places located more in Addyston than Sayler Park. Sayler Park also boasts a number of public parks.
Since Sayler Park sits along the Ohio River, there are a number of boating related businesses and Mariner's Landing Marina, which offers boat repair, sales, and docking. Other than a hardware store and a store that offers video game rentals, there aren't many shopping options in Sayler Park. One of the gems of Sayler Park, however, is the Parkland Theater; The Parkland is one of the oldest--if not the oldest--movie theater in Cincinnati. It mainly plays children's movies, but is a nice feature to have in this out of the way community.
The homes and quiet neighborhood, however, are the draw for Sayler Park. Besides the attractive homes and quiet lifestyle and proximity to the Ohio River, the property values in Sayler Park are quite the steal. You can find lovely 3-4 bedroom homes for under $130,000.
