Data from Greater Cincinnati Multiple Listing Service

The number of single family homes closing in the last quarter of 2010 for:

The highest priced sales in the area that closed in December were in Wetherington Country Club for $475,000, on Eagleridge in Beckett Ridge for $$225,900 and on Alpine Aster in Four Bridges Country Club in Liberty Township for $508,900.  Not bad prices for today’s slower market but in some cases the sale price was below what the owners paid for the properties a few years ago.

Metro Cincinnati real estate is currently in a “hold” pattern which West Chester, Beckett and Liberty Twp are also experiencing.  The question is how much longer buyers will sit on the fence waiting for prices to drop and how long will interest rate remain below 5%.

What’s the Difference Between Liberty Township and West Chester?

West Chester and Liberty Township

Sometimes buyers are confused about where and what the differences are between Liberty Township and West Chester.  Both are Townships governed by elected Trustees.  Neither one has an income tax so they’re both attractive to buyers looking toward Cincinnati suburbs to escape from cities with an income tax.  The Lakota School District serves both areas (except for a small section in northeast Liberty which in the Monroe School District)

The difference between West Chester and Liberty Township is Hamilton Mason Road

The dividing line

The dividing line

As you travel east and west on Hamilton Mason- the south side of the road is West Chester and the north side belongs to Liberty Township.  From a home buyer’s perspective looking in the area usually covers all of West Chester, which includes Beckett Ridge as well as house hunting in Liberty Township.  As the areas have grown and matured more of the new home construction is happening in Liberty Township- where there is more land available for development.

However the 2011 Homearama(cool show with new homes from $600,000-$900,000) is located in the Glenview section of Foxborough located in West Chester.

Lucky for both buyers and sellers both areas have a good number of properties available in all price ranges. Homes for sale  in  West Chester and Beckett Ridge-260 single family and 116 condos. And homes for sale in Liberty Township -273 single family and 5 condos for sale.  The location- close to Interstate 75 (I-75) makes the area a hot spot for people wanting suburban living with easy access to freeways.  Many of the people living in the area have household members working in Cincinnati while the other half of the household works in the Middletown or Dayton areas.  The additional exits off I-75 at Union Centre Blvd and the latest at Liberty Way indicates the rapid growth in the area.

Residents of the area take pride in their unique areas boasting several active condo and neighborhood associations.  And each neighborhood has their own personality- where you live really depends on what you can afford and where you feel the most comfortable.
