Terrace Park is one of Cincinnati's oldest communities was built on a terrace overlooking the Little Miami River.

Known for its tree-lined streets where residents ride bikes, jog or even take golf carts around the community, Terrace Park resembles a New England village. Those who live there are a blend of people deeply rooted in the community for two to three generations as well as those who have just moved in. Friendly and community minded, it is easy to feel at home in Terrace Park. The village has a variety of beautiful home styles that offer charm and character. Streets are interestingly named for famous colleges.
