Pleasant Ridge, in plain English.
Pleasant Ridge is a Cincinnati neighborhood east of the urban core, running along Montgomery Road between Norwood and Kennedy Heights and bordered by Oakley, Golf Manor, Amberley Village, and Columbia Township. Montgomery Road is the main thoroughfare, and its walkable business district carries a steady mix of restaurants, breweries, coffee shops, and independent retail.
Location is one of the neighborhood's defining features. Pleasant Ridge sits just north of Oakley and Hyde Park, with I-71 close by via the Ridge Avenue and Dana Avenue exits — putting downtown to the south and Blue Ash to the north within a short drive.
