If you’ve been searching for new construction in the Mariemont City School District, you already know how difficult it can be to find.
Buildable land is limited, established neighborhoods make up much of the district, and opportunities to purchase a brand-new detached single-family home don’t come along very often.
That’s what makes The Reserves at Walton Creek such a unique opportunity.
Located in Columbia Township within the Mariemont City School District, The Reserves is an intimate community of just six new single-family homes. It combines the advantages of modern construction with a highly convenient East Side location—and today, just two move-in-ready homes remain: 7408 Orchard Street and 7412 Orchard Street.
New Construction in the Mariemont School District
There’s a reason this combination gets buyers’ attention.
Many buyers love the location, community and character of the Mariemont area but would prefer the convenience of a newly built home. At The Reserves at Walton Creek, buyers don’t have to choose between the two.
These homes offer the things buyers increasingly look for in Cincinnati new construction: open living spaces, thoughtfully designed kitchens, dedicated work-from-home space, finished lower levels, generous primary suites and outdoor living areas.
And because everything is new—from the mechanical systems to the appliances and finishes—homeowners can enjoy an established location without immediately taking on the renovations or maintenance that may come with an older home.
Luxury That Still Feels Livable
The homes at The Reserves weren’t designed simply to look impressive. They were designed around how people actually live.
Open kitchens and living spaces make everyday life and entertaining easy, while dedicated offices provide separation when you need it. Finished lower levels add valuable flexible space for entertaining, exercise, guests, kids or simply spreading out.
High-end finishes, Thermador appliances, spacious primary suites, well-designed baths and two-car garages add the features buyers expect when considering luxury new construction.
The result is a modern home that feels elevated without sacrificing functionality.
A Significant Advantage: 10-Year CRA Tax Abatement
One of the most compelling features of The Reserves at Walton Creek isn’t something you’ll notice when you walk through the front door.
It’s the potential tax savings.
Homes within the community qualify for a 10-year Columbia Township Residential CRA tax abatement on the value of the new improvements, subject to applicable program requirements and final valuation.
Depending on the individual property and valuation, the savings can be significant over the 10-year abatement period.
That’s an important consideration when comparing The Reserves with similarly priced homes elsewhere in Greater Cincinnati. Looking only at purchase price doesn’t always tell the whole story—the ongoing cost of owning the home matters too.
No Columbia Township Earnings Tax
The community’s location in Columbia Township provides another potential financial advantage: Columbia Township does not impose a municipal earnings tax.
For buyers comparing homes in different Cincinnati-area municipalities and townships, local income taxes can make a meaningful difference in the overall cost of living.
Combined with the CRA tax-abatement opportunity, it’s another reason to look beyond the list price when evaluating a home at The Reserves.
Minutes From Mariemont and Cincinnati’s East Side
The Reserves offers a setting that feels residential and tucked away while keeping many of Cincinnati’s East Side destinations close by.
Mariemont Square is nearby for restaurants, coffee, shopping and the Mariemont Theatre. The area also provides convenient access to recreation and the bike trail, as well as destinations like Fifty West.
Oakley, Hyde Park, Madisonville, Terrace Park and Indian Hill are all easily accessible, and downtown Cincinnati is still within convenient reach.
For buyers who want to stay connected to the city without living directly in its more urban neighborhoods, it’s an appealing balance.
Just Six Homesites
The Reserves at Walton Creek isn’t a large subdivision—and it was never intended to be.
The entire community consists of just six single-family homesites.
That limited scale gives The Reserves a completely different character from many new-construction developments. You’re getting the benefits of a newly built home without the feeling of living within a sprawling subdivision.
And with four of the six homes already spoken for, only two opportunities remain.
Two Move-In-Ready Homes Remain
The final two homes offer buyers the opportunity to move into The Reserves without waiting through the full new-construction process.
7408 Orchard Street
7408 Orchard Street offers a spacious floor plan with four bedrooms, flexible living space and a finished lower level.
The home combines an open main living area with the practical spaces today’s buyers are looking for, including room to work from home, entertain and accommodate everyday family life.
It’s an excellent option for someone who wants the space and finishes of luxury new construction while remaining close to Mariemont and Cincinnati’s East Side.
7412 Orchard Street
7412 Orchard Street provides another opportunity to own a move-in-ready home within The Reserves, with a thoughtfully designed floor plan, dedicated first-floor office and finished lower level.
The additional finished space makes the home particularly flexible—whether it’s used for entertaining, a workout area, recreation, guests or simply additional room to spread out.
Both homes offer something that’s becoming increasingly difficult to find in this part of Cincinnati:
Brand-new, detached single-family construction within the Mariemont City School District.
