A backyard home in Downtown
Downtown Cincinnati (ZIP 45202) mixes high-rise condominiums and converted loft buildings with century-old commercial structures across the central business district between the river and Over-the-Rhine.
An ADU is an accessory to a single-family lot, and the central business district is largely condominiums and converted commercial buildings without the lot to put one on. We would say that on the phone rather than after a site visit. Where a downtown-adjacent property genuinely has land and single-family zoning, the same feasibility work applies as anywhere else.

Answers to your Downtown questions
In the core, almost never, because there is no single-family yard to put one on. If you own a condo or loft and want a separate suite, the conversation is really about your association rules and a remodel inside the unit.
Send us the address first and we will check the parcel’s zoning district before anyone visits. Cincinnati allows ADUs only where single-family homes are permitted, so the zoning map answers most of the question in minutes.
