Established in the 1800s, lovely Bellevue is aptly named for the breathtaking vistas that it commands from the vantage point of its riverside location. Just five minutes from downtown Cincinnati, Bellevue enjoys spectacular views of the city skyline and twinkling lights. This river city features Port Bellevue, a popular site for business and residential development, including a new $40 office and residential mixed-use complex. Most of the cities restaurants are also nestled in Port Bellevue. Just across the river from Cincinnati, Bellevue features the charming district of Fairfield Avenue with its quaint shops, friendly services, and great eateries. Affordable older homes and newer condominiums are attracting a mix of first-home buyers, singles, and families.
