It depends on how far you are willing to commute. Welcome to Cincy and good luck.

Not as good as Indian Hill? Sycamore and Mason are better in every statistic except median income.

Indian Hill HS is a top 100 HS in the entire county.

Actually Indian Hill is not in the top 100.

Not that it matters. The OP will not find a single family home in their price range in Indian Hill School District. They will be hard pressed to find one with in their price range in their desired area,Mason.

Perhaps they will take many other posters advice and look at Oak Hills School District.

I would be very cautious about buying a home in West Chester or Liberty Township if your employer is in Delhi. You might be fine with the commute now, but as a heads up, I-75 construction extending from I-275 in Sharonville all the way to the Ohio River is getting ready to move into full steam ahead next year (2017) and it will continue for many years to come (at least until 2024). And then once the Brent Spence Bridge project starts up, I don't even want to know how many years will be tied up in that project.

And while you won't be crossing the bridge on your commute, you'll definitely be in the middle of its construction zone by the time you get off I-75 and head to Delhi.

Current schedules can be found here:

While I am not overly familiar with the Oak Hills school district area, I do agree with many others on here to give that a strong consideration. Everything I've seen/read points to that area being very nice and on pari with the northern suburbs that you've noted. And instead of fighting traffic every single day on the interstate, you'll have a relaxing <15 minute commute each way to work.

Mason is a better area to live in than Oak Hills or anywhere on the West Side.

Sorry in the Top 200 but it used to be in the Top 100 still one of the best in the entire county.Also US News and Report is not the most accurate magazine for rankings.

Three Rivers is also a good school district. If your kid is a good student, the school you put him/her in is not very important, with the exception being many of the schools within the city limits.

as soon as you said West Chester, i knew you had a lot of money.... you wont have a problem finding a place in that range or a good school district.

I live in Mason, but I'd live in Oak Hills or Western Hills if I was the OP, and pay for Elder schools if I didn't like Oak Hills schools (and I'm non-Catholic).
