Columbia Tusculum is the oldest neighborhood in Cincinnati, founded in 1788 — predating the city itself by several months. Home to approximately 2,200 residents, the neighborhood is famous for its 'Painted Ladies' — a cluster of brightly-colored restored Victorian single-family homes along Tusculum Avenue and the surrounding streets.
Situated between Mount Lookout and Lunken Airport along the Ohio River, the neighborhood has a distinct small-town feel anchored by a tight, walkable commercial district along Eastern Avenue. The Otto Armleder Memorial Park, the Lunken Airport bike trail, and quick access to Columbia Parkway and downtown round out the appeal.
Columbia Tusculum's market is dominated by restored historic single-family homes — owner-occupancy is high, turnover is low, and properties typically sell quickly when listed. The small rental market leases at premium rates to professionals drawn by the architecture, parks, and proximity to downtown.

What Owners Are Saying
Real reviews from EquityTeam’s clients & customers.
“Very reliable, responsive, transparent, and professional. I simply could not ask for more. Maintenance is great, reports are thorough and on time. I have had previous experience with another management company and the difference is night and day.”
“I had a property I couldn't sell and 'tried' to be a landlord. I wish I would have turned the property over to the EquityTeam years ago. They are professional, honest, and quick to answer any questions you have. They found me a great tenant in 7 days after listing it.”
“EquityTeam has managed my property for over a decade. The property has been vacant for less than a month in that time, which is outstanding. They do a great job of managing the tenant relationship while also taking great care of my property.”

• Monthly Management Fees: 8% to 12% of monthly rent.
• Leasing Fees: 50–100% of one month’s rent, sometimes a flat fee of around $800–$1,000.
• Lease Renewal Fees: from a flat fee of around $100 per renewal up to 6% of the total lease term’s cumulative gross rents.
• Maintenance: Some companies charge hourly rates (starting around $60–$70 per hour and up) for an internal technician, while others outsource all maintenance to local vendors and pass the vendor bill through to the owner with a slight markup. Typically, those with internal maintenance techs respond faster, do better work, and cost the owner less in the long run.
It can be hard to find these prices online since many management companies are not transparent with their pricing. EquityTeam publishes its pricing online on our Residential Property Management page.
