Clifton, Ohio was one of the area’s first suburbs, as Cincinnati’s early industrialists moved out of downtown. A diverse neighborhood, Clifton residents are a mingling of humanity—students, artists, educators, professionals and families. Housing types include a variety—Tudor, Victorian, Cape Cod and castle-type mansions. Plus plenty of new construction—condos, row houses and apartments. University Park on Calhoun Street is a $54-million housing project with one- and two- bedroom apartments, and the new Villages at Stetson Square is a $70-million project near University Hospital. It is home to the University of Cincinnati and Hebrew Union College. Several medical facilities are located here—Good Samaritan, Deaconess, University Hospital and Shriners. Also located here are Mount Storm Park, Wolff Planetarium, Burnet Woods Park and Rawson Nature Preserve. There are small chic shops and lots of restaurants, including an array of ethnic spots, on Ludlow Avenue, called “the heartthrob” of the neighborhood. The Esquire Theater on Ludlow is a popular landmark. A fountain, on Ludlow and Clifton Avenue, serves as centerpiece for a future gathering place for residents. It boasts a cultural arts center. Surrounding neighborhoods in Clifton include Clifton Heights, University Heights and Fairview (CUF); also Corryville.
