The two sprawling townships of West Chester and Liberty share a recent history of rapid growth and development. In response to Metropolitan Cincinnati's need for family-friendly neighborhoods at a distance from the city's traffic and bustle, these rural areas have seen rapid transformation into a desirable bedroom community in a suburban setting. Most of the homes in this area have sprung up within the past decade and present an appealing blend of traditional and contemporary styling. Handsome and impressive commercial developments include West Chester's Union Centre Tech Corridor and the University Pointe regional medical campus. Beautiful golf-course communities, abundant shopping, well-managed recreation programs, lovely parks and first-rate sports facilities, and a combination of leading school districts are some of the calling cards to this rapidly growing area.
