Why they were first attracted to home and neighborhood: “When we came to the Cincinnati area, we first planned to build a home but discovered Four Bridges. The homes offered such quality and custom features, while the neighborhood offered fabulous and affordable membership to a great country club. While visiting, residents went out of their way to say ‘hello,’ and we felt welcome.”

Why they love home and neighborhood today: “The area is quaint, the views beautiful, and the convenience for travel and shopping are great. Initially, we joined the Four Bridges Country Club for the convenience of the swimming pool, but soon after added full membership and have enjoyed all that the club has to offer, from the pool to the racquet sports to the golf course, all at a very reasonable price for a country club. There are a lot of children in the neighborhood, so our children can easily find others to play with, and they can easily ride their bikes to the playground or pool. The club’s restaurant is also family friendly and a convenient and enjoyable place to drop in for a casual dinner or drink. We have been very fortunate to meet several great families in the neighborhood, and we have built some strong friendships in the short time that we have lived here. They have all been very gracious and welcoming, making Four Bridges feel like home very quickly.”
