Western Hills
Western Hills encompasses the neighborhoods furthest west of Cincinnati, including Bridgetown, Cheviot and Monfort Heights. Bridgetown's tight-knit community, mostly residential, takes on a family-first attitude. It's home to Oak Hills High School, once the largest high school in Ohio, and several private Catholic schools. Summertime brings parish festivals almost every weekend and the annual third of July firework celebration at local Kuliga Park, giving the neighborhood a festive vibe. The quaint city of Cheviot offers family-owned restaurants, shops and bars for local entertainment.
