Introduction

Villa Hills is a vibrant suburban community of 7,500 residents and was named the number one suburb by Cincy Magazine in 2014 and the seventh best suburb in the USA that same year. Its roots go back to 1785 when the area was settled by Robert McKay as payment for service in the Revolutionary War. The area was originally called Madonna Acres and Ludlow and for many years was unincorporated farmland. In the early 1960s, people started building homes and the area incorporated itself as a city.
