I have lived in the Govedale Garden District for seven years and it has been a wonderful experience. The houses are beautiful but the people in the Garden district is what makes it special place.

what area is considered the Garden District?

The Covedale Garden District isn't really a district consisting of certain streets with lots of gardens....it's just a designation to separate the actual Covedale neighborhood from West Price Hill. Technically, part of Covedale is in Delhi Township, and part is in Green Township and part is in the city of Cincinnati itself. The Covedale Garden District...that which actually makes up the distinct Covedale neighborhood itself...would most likely be south of Sidney Road, and north of Rapid Run, and east of Covedale Avenue.

Whose part of Covedale? Except for mentioning St. Teresa on Overlook (which I would consider Covedale Garden District), and Colonial Drive (not what I would even consider Covedale), no one in this thread has given a specific street they live on, so I'm not sure what you're referring to. PART of Overlook is what I would consider West Price Hill, yeah. But the problem with Covedale is that there really aren't any definitive borders to the area. It blurs into West Price Hill once you get southeast of Omeana/Loretta...and north of Sidney is basically Western Hills. There's basically nothing northeast of the intersection of Covedale and Foley (which is Delhi) but New St. Joseph Cemetery, and the few streets to the east of there really don't fit into the Covedale Garden District. It's a tough area to call, really.

The boundaries of Price Hill have been disputed for decades. History shows that Price Hill was a small area dating back to the 1870s in what used to be Storrs Twp. This area had previous names but Price’s Hill or Price Hill became the dominant name after the Price family built the incline in 1874. The origin of Covedale date back to the 1830s and was a small rural village located in the 7th section of Green Twp on the outskirts of the city.

Both Covedale and Price Hill were annexed to the city as unincorporated areas. Therefore, there were never any legal boundaries for either area. Thus, causing much confusion and debate as to where Price Hill ends and Covedale begins. The boundaries of these neighborhoods have always been unofficially decided on by the residents in the area and have changed throughout the years. Today, for whatever reason the majority of the residents east of Rapid Run Pike choose the Price Hill identity and those who live west of Rapid Run seem to choose the Covedale identity.
