Anderson Township Homes for Sale

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.

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.

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 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.

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.
