Cincinnati Riverfront Homes - River House Landing
Amy December 18th, 2007
Northern Kentucky has already captured a significant revival with the addition of the Newport on the Levee complex. Stores and restaurants (and a wonderful AMC movie complex) took advantage of this central location, and crowds continue to flock to the area from Kentucky and Ohio.
Once again, Kentucky has won the battle with riverfront housing. First, the Ascent, while not exactly on the shores of the Ohio River, represents the first dramatic departure from the typical and out-dated buildings of Northern Kentucky. The Ascent building, designed by world-renowned architects, Studio Daniel Libeskind (designers of the World Trade Center redesign and memorial), was the first new building that was built to attract the wealthier retirees and executive type buyers, with prices ranging from $395,000 to $4.5 million for the 72 condos.
Next on tap was the larger South Shore development, a three-tower complex, featuring a private marina, clubhouse, pool and putting green. There are 200 units, priced at $250,000 to $2 million. This site features fantastic views of downtown and the east suburbs of Mt. Adams and Columbia Tusculm, and you’re just a short boat ferry away from the Montgomery Inn Boathouse.
The newest, but less expansive project is the River House Landing. These are town homes (and 1 Victorian home), feature private docks, elevators, and rooftop decks with gorgeous views of the Ohio River and downtown Cincinnati. These are much more livable areas, and offer more privacy than the Ascent and South Shore. While you still share walls with adjoining units, you don’t share floors or ceilings. A private garage on the ground level accompanies a media room, wine cellar and your own dock. This is key if you are a boat fanatic. Prices have just been updated to starting at $899,000, and you can choose from many luxurious amenities on the four living levels.

Have you heard about Triple Crown Country Club in Union, Kentucky?
The community also has an optional swim and tennis membership, not associated with the Country Club. There are walking trails and play lot for children, horses in a paddock area at the entrance of the community and Triple Crown Boulevard runs thru the middle of the 18 hole golf course. Some homes are situated on the course and others on lakes and nicely wooded lots with full utilites.
I have lived with my family, in this community since 1991 and was the first REALTOR to purchase a lot here. My family was one of the first families to commit to building a home in this community in 1990. I specialize in relocation, homes and lots in Triple Crown and represents many buyers relocating into the community. I bought and chose to move into this community because from my first visit to my latest trip into the community, I feel like living in Triple Crown is like going to a resort, on vacation, every time you enter this community. I have been selling real estate as a REALTOR since 1989 with RE/MAX.
