Took some pics during some down-time yesterday. These are just some that caught my eye within a few minutes, I didn't drive around looking. I'd say these represent the middle of the road home for the neighborhood.

I wish I could have gotten a few pics of the huge Four-Squares with three windows across a few streets over.

Hmmm...(goyguy dons thinking cap)
I'll try not to use up all the guesses m'self!
My immediate first reaction was "Mt Lookout."
None of those houses would be out of place in Wyoming, but having grown up there I can rule that guess out. (4-square Colonials don't exist there anyways.)
If the answer is "College Hill" I wouldn't be surprised, ditto for "Kennedy Hts" since the niche of that community bounded by Montgomery Rd, Kennedy Ave, and Red Bank is upscale and off most folks' radar. Also off many people's radar is Westwood, if only because of its being "across the viaduct" and therefore not visited by many east siders. (lol)
Could well be Park Hills or Fort Mitchell, "across the river," too.
But I'll be a good sport and leave my other guesses for everybody else.

Looks like it could be Westwood to me. looks like the right age range of parts of Westwood. Well kept, nice landscaping. Architecture looks right.

You, sir, are correct.

If I had taken these from the street without zooming in, the larger lots and rolling hills would be more apparent.

I took a detour through CH on my way to Northside via Kilby. I didn't get any pictures of the mansions around McAuley High School which may be the best in the neighborhood.

The yellow stucco house reminds me of many like it in Hyde Park, just with less embellishment.

Next time you are on Montana around McFarlan, on the north side of the road stands a taller,thinner variation of this house, very similar color combination. They're both impeccable and gorgeous.

BTW, I'm addicted to your blog!

This was cool! More, more! Next time I promise to limit my guesses, LOL...
One of my to-do's which never gets done is to take some pics exactly like these, in parts of town few would surmise would have such excellent homes. It perpetually bugs me that so many areas get a bad rap when there are sections within them (often most of the neighborhood) that're really nice.
Here are some "secret gem" streets to check out on future rides. If you post photos from any of them as a quiz I won't take the cheap win.

Parkdale Ave (Roselawn)
Aikenside Ave (Kennedy Heights)
Kearney St (Hartwell)
La Feuille Ave (Westwood)
Escalon Ave (Carthage)
Towanda Terrace (Bond Hill)

...and there are lots, lots more where those came from, all in Cincy sectors commonly thought of as "sketchy" or "going downhill." Such as College Hill!
Good job concealing house numbers, btw.

Heh, I didn't conceal the house numbers, 'Natians like their privacy or something. I know they're hard to see from the street.

These are some I took during lunch cruising around. This one should be easier? Yeah, should be.

Boy, do I ever miss the residential architecture of the Midwest. I'm so sick of looking at brick row houses and twins ... including mine!
