"Living so close to a cemetery can be pretty peaceful"
Winton Rd. Begins at Spring Grove Ave. and heads north from there. It creates a neat border between the western edge of Spring Grove Village and Spring Grove Cemetery. As you turn onto Winton Rd and head north, you can't help but notice Sun Belt Rentals on the corner. (You can't miss the bright green cranes and heavy equipment).
A few other businesses such as S&S Deli are also on the eastern side of Winton Rd, but mostly it's residential. The Western side of the street has a stone wall that runs the length of the street from Spring Grove Ave. to Gray Rd. It separates Spring Grove Cemetery from the rest of the neighborhood.
Living so close to a cemetery isn't as spooky as it seems. I once lived a few blocks away on E. Epworth and found it to be quite peaceful. Few folks chose to walk the streets by night, and I think that made it safer for those residents who chose to leave home after dark.
The homes along Winton Rd are a mix of small and large older homes. One residence on Derby Ave. near Winton was the historic home of designer, Samuel Hannaford. He designed Music Hall, as well as a number of wonderful buildings in Cincinnati. A few of his churches remain standing in Spring Grove Village.
Shopping/Dining/Recreation
S&S Deli convenience store is on Winton Rd. There's also a Kroger and a few other small shops nearby on Kenard Ave., with additional shopping nearby in Northside and Clifton.
There are several fast food restaurants nearby on Kenard and West Mitchell. Frisch's is a block from Winton on Spring Grove Ave. For additional dining options, Northside and Clifton are close.
Cincinnati Zoo is nearby. Mt Airy Forest is 15 minutes away. There are several small parks and green spaces in the neighborhood, and Spring Grove Cemetery hosts concerts, outings and family events.

Parker Woods Montessori School (Preschool-6) is located on Winton Rd. James N. Gamble Montessori High School (7-12) (Formerly Jacobs) is close on Winton Ridge, and Winton Hills Academy (Preschool-8) is in nearby Winton Hills. University of Cincinnait, Xavier University and Cincinnati State are 10 minutes away.
