Bellevue

Ideally situated on the Ohio River just six miles to downtown, Bellevue is a walking community that features an impressive business district for its size. From a grocery store and hardware store to the notable restaurant, Vivo (“best food I’ve ever had in my life” says one resident) and a popular coffee house,  Bellevue residents get the benefits of a small town while living minutes from  downtown.

Don't miss the Andrew Bayne Memorial Library housed in a gorgeous mansion, and some of the older and splendid homes in a similar architectural style. The borough has a wealth of churches, along with Bayne Park and Suburban hospital.
