When we started looking for our first home, we were searching with one thing in mind – LOCATION! We wanted to be within 5 miles of downtown and Newport’s East Row Historic District was the perfect spot. Central to everything – downtown, entertainment, highways, nightlife, etc. It wasn’t until we lived here for a few months that it became abundantly clear how awesome the location actually was.
When we started thinking about having a family, we were excited to have kids while living in Newport. Our street is very family friendly, and we've made some great friends while living here. It is so nice to have neighbors that you actually call friends.
After we had our first baby, I decided to become a stay-at-home-mom and our neighborhood has made the adjustment from working woman to full-time mama an easy one. There is so much to do and mostly within walking distance.
It is great to get the now double-stroller out and walk to the Levee or across the Purple People Bridge to Sawyer Point. We have easy access to the Cincinnati charity walk circuit and participate as a family in many using our house as a meeting spot before and after the walk.
We walk to library on a weekly basis for toddler library time and the librarian is AWESOME! The kids love her and look forward to our Wednesday library adventures.
There is so much I’ll miss about Newport…but I think most of all I’ll miss Linden Avenue. It’s truly the intersection of a great house and the perfect location. I’m excited about our next adventure, but I’m even more excited to pass on the Newport experience on Linden Avenue to the next owners.
