Where to stay in East Westwood
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
No hotel desk stands on Westwood Northern Boulevard. East Westwood is houses and wooded slope, so the closest rooms sit southeast of it, in Clifton and the blocks around the University of Cincinnati, with downtown Cincinnati holding the rest. Pick by the drive.
If you want the west side first thing in the morning, take a room near Harrison Avenue in Westwood and come back along Westwood Northern Boulevard, which crosses East Westwood from one edge to the other.

About East Westwood
What are the main landmarks in East Westwood?
Goltra Preserve is the address that draws visitors. The Hillside Trust holds the ridgetop and hillside woods at Brokaw Avenue and Baltimore Avenue, and the Cincinnati Park Board keeps the adjoining stretch of the same slope in Westwood as Bracken Woods. Roll Hill School anchors the other end.
Its building stands at 2411 Baltimore Avenue as a Community Learning Center for preschool through grade 6, and Westwood Northern Boulevard is the street that ties the two together.
What is the history of East Westwood?
East Westwood carries the name of Westwood, the village incorporated on 14 September 1868 and annexed by the City of Cincinnati on 8 May 1896. The younger record here is a land record. David and Phyllis Goltra gave The Hillside Trust its first 14 acres of this hillside in 1986, the builder J-II Homes added 36 acres in 2007 rather than meet the cost of developing them, and Clean Ohio Fund money bought a further 17.94 acres in 2016.
Woods won the ridge.
Where is East Westwood?
Westwood runs the whole western edge. Roll Hill sits north-east, North Fairmount drops away south-east, and Interstate 74 clips the northern tip.
