ABOUT MOUNT LOOKOUT
Welcome to one of the most livable communities in Cincinnati—ranked by Niche.com among the Best Neighborhoods to Buy a House (#2), the Best Neighborhoods to Raise a Family (#2), and the Best Neighborhoods to Live (#4).
The heart of the community is Mount Lookout Square. Here, you'll find boutique stores, casual and fine dining, salons, medical and dental offices, schools, and a range of services from veterinary care to banking. For most residents, the services they need and the entertainment they want are a short walk from their front doors.

Among the city's largest and one of Ohio's premier parks, Ault Park offers 224-acres of green space, miles of trails, playgrounds, playing fields, and beautiful gardens. The park hosts an full calendar of community events, including a large 4th of July celebration and fireworks display, the Ault Park Concours d'Elegance (an invitational antique and exotic car display that is the second oldest in the U.S.), and a summer concert series. Ault Park Pavilion, built in 1930 and renovated in the '80s, is the site of concerts, dances, weddings, corporate events, and more.
