Pleasant Ridge is a mostly gaslight residential neighborhood in Cincinnati, Ohio with a small business district occupied largely by long-standing, independent businesses. It is one of the most diverse, dispersed and durable communities in the entire region according to a 2008 study of 122 communities conducted by the Cincinnatus Association.
"The Ridge" has been a part of the city of Cincinnati since the early 1900s. Most of the homes here were built in the 30s so they're smaller and closer together than the suburbs of today.
Our home was built in 1936, in the days before 3-car garages, walk-in closets and and insulation in walls. You might hear neighbors coming and going and the floors will squeak but we've lived here for 25 years and love the house and all of its quirks.
