Eastgate and Union Township – Clermont County Homes
In the 1980’s, Clermont County, located to the east of Hamilton County, was the fastest growing county in the State of Ohio. The changes have been fascinating to watch. With Eastgate Mall as the anchor, commercial and restaurant development just took off from there.
Eastgate, a section of the larger area also known as Union Township, is a prime candidate for continued growth. Development and re-development of existing retail space is a wise investment for both independent and “big-box” retailers. The Eastgate Mall expects a new anchor to take up residence on the sight of the former National Amusement Cinemas drawing even more customers to the area. Eastgate boasts relatively impressive demographics. Approximately 11,500 households with yearly incomes $50,000 + are located within a 3 mile radius of Union Township. The demand for new and upscale retail is palpable!
Successful because of the wide open land, with opportunities for commercial, small business, healthcare, housing and entertainment, there is still room to grow. Of course, with all the growth, comes traffic! The Eastgate corridor will soon be undergoing a “facelift”, to ease congestion.
A couple of the reasons that so many people want to explore the homes for sale in Union Township is for it’s convenient proximity to downtown Cincinnati, CVG, Lunken Airport and Clermont County airport. There is a variety of housing: comfortable starter homes to luxury home price points. The popular Polo Fields and Lexington Run are “must explore” pool communities for many incoming buyers. Mature, treed neighborhoods with rolling terrain, and friendly neighbors, like Deer Valley, English Creek or Surrey Ridge, invite homebuyers to enjoy custom, quality built homes in the $200,000 – $300,000 price range, approximately 15 – 20 years old. Many of the homes boast walkout basements, and wooded lots.
Meeting the demand for a variety of housing, new town homes are being offered in Wetherby Farms, along with quaint, single family homes designed to transport you back to “yester-year” with front porches, private rear patios, and garages accessed from rear alleys.
Ivy Trails straddles both Clermont and Hamilton counties, and offers both grand, upscale custom built luxury homes, and a Life-Style section. In the Life-Style section, the homes are smaller, but not wanting for a single, beautiful amenity!
Residents of Union Township enjoy a wonderful park system. Clepper Park and Veteran’s Park are just two of the area’s out door playlands. Ballgames, picnics, trails, fishing lakes….all to enjoy! The Cincinnati Nature Center’s Rowe Woods is also located in Union Township.
The Union Township/ Eastgate areas are served by the West Clermont Schools. West Clermont embraced the small school concept in 2002. High school students may attend either Glen Este High, or Amelia High, as they choose, based on the student’s interests. Ten small schools, 5 at Amelia, 5 at Glen Este, were established in 10 course studies as:
- School for World Studies
- School for Creative Arts and Design
- School for Business and Technology
- School for Applied Health Sciences
