Kings Mills, OH

Tucked along the banks of the Little Miami River about twenty miles northeast of Cincinnati, Kings Mills is a quiet, tight-knit community right next door to Mason. The area grew up in the late 1800s as a company town built around the King Powder and Peters Cartridge factories. Quick access to I-71 makes commuting simple, yet the town stays rooted in its history, with leafy residential streets, classic homes, and preserved brick architecture nestled along the riverbank.
