Glendale, OH

Tucked about fifteen miles north of downtown Cincinnati, Glendale offers a quiet, storybook setting with a distinctive small-town feel. As one of the country's earliest planned communities, the village is known for its winding, tree-lined streets, picturesque Victorian homes, and lush green spaces. With around 2,300 residents, it is a tight-knit neighborhood where people can relax in the village square, stroll through quiet parks, and spot the famous black squirrels that have become the town mascot.
