CINCINNATI â The city is one step closer to getting more affordable housing units. Demolition began this week to make room for John Arthur Flats in Northside.
Northsiders Engaged in Sustainable Transformation, or NEST, owns the property on Apple Street where the complex will be located. The group says it is designed for seniors, and it will be open summer 2022. Leaders say it will be the cityâs first LGBTQ+-friendly complex.
