Reading, the “Crossroads of Opportunity”, is located four miles north of downtown Cincinnati within the I-275 beltway. As one of Cincinnati’s original suburbs it quickly became a ‘bedroom’ community. Families and businesses alike have been here, some for many generations, either living ‘down in the valley’, or up on ‘the hill’. A large portion of the city includes housing from 1880’s; traditional Cape Cod and ranch homes are also prevalent. Businesses continue to relocate to the area because of its ease in transportation and access to employees.
