Sold for % of asking price
Each sale's price compared with that home's final asking price, then the middle result. Above 100% means the typical home sold for more than it was last asking; below 100% means less. Seller-paid closing costs are not recorded in this data, so a sale that included them netted the seller less than this figure shows. - 98.3%
- typical sale against its final asking price
-
Typical price per square foot
Each sale's price divided by the living area the MLS records for that home, then the middle result. Living area is not recorded for every sale, and seller-paid closing costs are not recorded at all, so this is a rough way to compare homes of different sizes rather than a valuation of any one of them. - $213

Covers Cincinnati homes in ZIP 45213 (the ZIP stands in for Pleasant Ridge and can include nearby areas): houses, condos and townhomes (land, commercial, multi-family investment and rental listings excluded). "Typical" is the middle value (the median): half the homes are above it and half below. We show it rather than an average because a few unusually high or low sales can pull an average away from the middle; where an average is shown, it is the average of the same sales. A typical value is reported only when at least 5 listings or sales are in the window. "Sold for % of asking price" compares each sale price with that home's final asking price, and price per square foot uses the living area the MLS records — seller-paid closing costs are not recorded in this data, so both figures overstate what a seller actually netted on any sale that included them. "A year ago" is the same 90-day window one year earlier. We show it only where the two windows differ by more than the normal variation between two groups of sales that size — so a figure with no year-ago number beside it means last year's was too close to this year's to tell apart, or last year's window had too few sales to compare — not that it is missing. Data courtesy of the MLS of Greater Cincinnati. Information is deemed reliable but not guaranteed — independently verify all details. These figures are not an appraisal or an estimate of any specific home's value; for a specific home, ask us for a comparative market analysis.

Pleasant Ridge, in plain English.
Pleasant Ridge is a Cincinnati neighborhood primarily in the 45213 ZIP code, on the city's northeast side about eight miles from downtown. It runs along Montgomery Road between Norwood and Kennedy Heights, bordered by Oakley, Golf Manor, Amberley Village, and Columbia Township.
Montgomery Road is the spine of the neighborhood, and the stretch through the business district is genuinely walkable — restaurants, breweries, coffee shops and independent retail sit within a few blocks of each other rather than strung along a highway.
The location is what most people notice first. Pleasant Ridge sits just north of Oakley and Hyde Park, with I-71 a couple of minutes away via the Ridge Avenue and Dana Avenue exits. Downtown is southwest, Blue Ash and the Kenwood offices are north, and both are a short drive rather than a commute you plan your day around.
Real estate and homes in Pleasant Ridge.
Most homes in Pleasant Ridge date to the first half of the twentieth century and the years just after, with much of the neighborhood built out in the 1920s: brick and frame single-family houses, bungalows and Tudors among them, on lots you can actually maintain. Construction from that era tends to mean plaster, hardwood and full basements, and floor plans with rooms rather than one open volume.
Renovation is the neighborhood's ongoing story. A lot of owners have updated kitchens, baths and systems while keeping the original structure intact, so two houses on the same street can sit at very different points on the finished-to-project scale. That range is worth knowing before you tour — it is the main thing that separates listings here.
Townhomes and condominiums exist in smaller numbers, and the housing stock includes two-to-four-unit buildings, which matters if you are considering owner-occupied multi-family. Inventory and pricing move constantly, so our live home search is the place to see what is actually available today, and at what price.

What's around Pleasant Ridge.
The Montgomery Road business district is where most of the neighborhood's daily activity happens. Nine Giant Brewing, Pleasant Ridge Chili (serving Cincinnati-style chili since 1964), the Gas Light Cafe, Everybody's Records and the Coffee Exchange are all within the same walkable stretch. The Esquire Theatre, an independent cinema, is a short drive away in Clifton's Gaslight District.
The Pleasant Ridge Recreation Center has a playground, ball fields, tennis courts and a public pool. A little further up Montgomery Road, Kennedy Heights Park and the Kennedy Heights Arts Center add green space and year-round arts programming. Ridge Day, the neighborhood's own street festival, runs on Montgomery Road each year.

Buying in Pleasant Ridge, answered.
Where is Pleasant Ridge in Cincinnati?
Pleasant Ridge is a Cincinnati neighborhood, mostly in the 45213 ZIP code, on the city's northeast side about eight miles from downtown. It runs along Montgomery Road between Norwood and Kennedy Heights, and it borders Oakley, Golf Manor, Amberley Village and Columbia Township. The walkable Montgomery Road business district is its spine.
How do commutes work from Pleasant Ridge?
I-71 is a couple of minutes away via the Ridge Avenue and Dana Avenue exits. Downtown is to the southwest, and Blue Ash and the Kenwood offices are to the north, both a short drive. Cincinnati Metro buses run along Montgomery Road and the other main corridors. Your exact time depends on your address and destination, so test your route at both morning and evening rush hour.
Are there renovation restrictions on Pleasant Ridge homes?
Sometimes. In Cincinnati, if a property is a local landmark or sits in a local historic district, exterior changes need a Certificate of Appropriateness review from the city. Interior-only work that does not affect the exterior generally does not trigger that review. Before you plan to replace windows, alter doors or make major exterior updates, confirm whether city review applies to that address.
Can I buy a duplex and live in one unit in Pleasant Ridge?
The housing stock does include two-to-four-unit buildings, which matters if you are considering owner-occupied multi-family. Before you write an offer, verify the basics for the exact parcel: whether duplex use is allowed and what parking it requires, minimum lot size and unit layout standards, any owner-occupancy requirement, and the permit and inspection steps for renovations. A short call to the building department can save weeks later.
