The Story of English Woods
English Woods began in 1940. It was a planned community built by the Cincinnati Metropolitan Housing Authority. These were special homes for people. In 1960, the neighborhood grew. More public housing was built. This new area was called Sutterview.
By 2005, many of the original homes were old. So, most of them were torn down. There were plans to build new homes. But these plans did not happen. Today, most of English Woods is empty. Only Sutterview and one tall apartment building remain.
