Mariemont is one of the most attractive neighborhoods in Cincinnati and the nation. Its many assets include the historic Village Square that has a healthy mix of retail, restaurants, a movie theater and one-of-a-kind attractions such as The Mariemont Inn. Additional retail along Wooster Pike provides all the required services with easy access. The schools, library, Parish Center, Resthaven Arts Center and park system are also high quality amenities. And finally the physical layout of the residential districts connected via tree-lined streets to the Square make the Village a wonderful walkable community with many opportunities to interact with neighbors and friends.
These collective assets not only make Mariemont a nice place to raise a family but also a great community to “age in place.” Mariemont has many residents who raised their families decades ago and never left. They strongly wish to continue to live in their homes of long standing or move into a condo or apartment without the cares of maintenance. Mariemont also attracts new residents who moved into the community with the completion of Jordan Park. The quality of the neighborhood was a major selling feature.
The timing is perfect to leverage the assets of the Village since the aging population of America will reach 80 million with the retirement of the baby boomers. This segment is increasingly seeking housing options where they can naturally “age in place” in a community like Mariemont. Institutional settings such as senior housing or retirement communities are no longer the only option.
MariElders is another asset that is perfectly situated to deliver services to a growing senior population. Future services might include coordinating in-home health care, case management and social work services in addition to the current transportation, education and recreation activities.
Residence D will allow the development of condos and apartment buildings for this booming market. The new zoning classification has the density and height required to build desirable multi-story buildings with elevators and the other amenities required by this age group.
Mariemont is one of the few communities where a high quality, independent, healthy senior life-style is available. The assets are in place, the only missing ingredient is the right housing product. Vote YES on Issue 42 Residence D.
