Maymont Homes is committed to clear and upfront pricing.

Just off the dining space, sliding glass doors lead to the rear deck, offering a smooth indoor-outdoor connection and a view of the deep backyard framed by mature trees.

Upstairs, three bedrooms sit together along a central hallway, each offering natural light and fresh carpet underfoot. A full bathroom features tiled walls, a tub-and-shower combination, and updated fixtures. The lower level extends the home's usable space with a finished bonus room, an additional half bath, and direct access to the garage and utility area, offering flexibility for storage, work, or leisure.

Out back, the open yard provides room to enjoy the surroundings, set against a quiet tree line. With its fresh interior updates, split-level layout, and convenient Cincinnati location, this home provides both comfort and accessibility. Apply now!

    "My parents purchased our home near Winton Woods in 1968. I took it over in 2010. I’ve been able to volunteer on various committees in the city. We have a Women’s Club I belong to. During the summer there are concerts. The streets are always well maintained in the winter. Police are very friendly & always check on your home if you request it when you go out of town. "

    "I grew up in Forest Park and returned after being out of state for 25 years. Most of the same neighbors were still living on our street. I love how friendly everyone is, how multiple races get along great together, & how close we are to stores, restaurants & highways. Many say there aren't many community activities anymore. People need to check the city's website to discover all there is to do!! There are committee's they can serve on, a Women's Club, a Historical Society, & many other clubs. Activities are always going on in the Activity & Senior Center."

    "Although everyone is friendly and it’s quiet in this neighborhood I’m ready to move. The taxes are extremely high and there’s nothing to show for it. Very little restaurants or shopping available. The streets are horrible as they’re full of potholes. I don’t understand what my tax dollars are paying for. It’s time to move to a better location. "

    "It’s medium far away from everything, and it isn’t particularly expensive or inexpensive. I can’t think of anything that is decidedly positive or negative about this neighborhood. It’s a lot better than living in the middle of nowhere, but also more expensive. It’s cheaper than living in a nicer or more convenient location, but you can’t walk anywhere. I can’t wait to move away from here; I just hope I find somewhere that is affordable. "
