Custom Homes in Mount Washington, Cincinnati, OH

Mount Washington (ZIP 45230) occupies the hilltop at the eastern edge of the city above the river, with much of its housing built post-war on larger and more regular lots than the older neighborhoods closer in.

This is one of the more straightforward places inside the city limits to build new. Lots are generally wider and flatter, foundations are more predictable, and getting equipment to a site is rarely the problem it is on the near hillsides, so more of the budget goes into the house rather than into the ground. What still needs settling before purchase is ordinary: where the sewer and water actually run, what reaching them costs, and whether the buildable area once clearances are applied matches the house you want.
