Living in Anderson Township
Anderson Township is a large, established suburb on Cincinnati's east side along the Ohio River, popular with families relocating for corporate jobs who want more house and yard than the urban-core neighborhoods offer. As an unincorporated Ohio township, it does not levy a municipal earnings tax. A real, quantifiable savings compared to Cincinnati's 1.8% rate. The tradeoff is a longer commute to Downtown than the urban-core options on this list.
Schools
Forest Hills Local School District serves Anderson Township and neighboring Newtown, and is one of the higher-performing suburban districts in the region. A major draw for relocating families prioritizing schools.
Parks & Attractions
Cincinnati Nature Center's Rowe Woods property sits just outside the township and is a major regional draw for hiking and programming. California Woods Nature Preserve and Coney Island's Sunlite Pool are both nearby on the riverfront, and Riverbend Music Center. The area's main outdoor concert amphitheater. Is a short drive away.
Housing Market
Housing stock is heavily single-family, ranging from mid-century ranches to larger newer-construction homes in subdivisions built over the past two decades. With 85% owner-occupancy, this is a stable, low-turnover homeowner market rather than a rental-heavy one. Home values run below the urban-core neighborhoods on this list for comparable or larger square footage.
Worth Knowing
Anderson Township has no municipal income tax at all, one of the relatively few places in the metro where that is true. Because Ohio townships generally are not permitted to levy one. The township's riverfront includes several public boat ramps and a long stretch of the Ohio River with views into Kentucky.
