Custom Homes in East End, Cincinnati, OH

The East End (ZIP 45226) is a long, narrow neighborhood running east along Kellogg Avenue between the Ohio River and the hillside, with much of its ground low and directly on the riverfront.

The river is the whole proposition here and the whole constraint. Where a parcel sits relative to required flood elevation drives the foundation type, how high the first floor has to be, how the driveway and entry work, and what insuring the house costs for as long as you own it. Those are determinations made by the floodplain administrator and a surveyor. On a riverfront lot they are the difference between a good buy and an expensive lesson, so we get them before a purchase closes.
