Blue Ash, OH

Blue Ash is a Cincinnati suburb settled around 1791 and now known for a surprisingly large business and education presence. It is home to UC Blue Ash, formerly Raymond Walters College, and many corporate headquarters and office parks. That gives the city a daytime population and employment base beyond its residential size. Blue Ash also has a polished civic feel, with parks, events, local services, and quick access to the highways and job centers of northeast Cincinnati.
