Emergency Crime Scene and Biohazard Cleanup in Amberley, OH

Amberley, commonly called Amberley Village, is a village in Hamilton County, Ohio, a leafy first-ring residential suburb just northeast of downtown Cincinnati.

Amberley was incorporated as a village on April 5, 1940, when residents acted to preserve local control over zoning and the area's rural character, and it was named after Amberley in West Sussex, England.

Amberley had a population of 3,840 at the 2020 census spread across about 3.5 square miles of large home lots, and the village is completely landlocked by other communities.

Amberley contains French Park, a 275-acre City of Cincinnati park built around the French House, the former estate of Procter & Gamble executive Herbert Greer French, who left the property to the city for park purposes.

In 2008 the village acquired the former 133-acre Crest Hills Country Club golf course and turned it into Amberley Green, a large public green space.

Amberley's recorded history reaches back centuries before incorporation: the prehistoric Benham Mound, a Hopewell-culture earthwork, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, and the James Baxter House, built in 1807, joined the Register in 1994.

Amberley developed after World War II into an important center of Cincinnati's suburban Jewish community, and five synagogues and temples are located within the village.

Amberley is recognized as a Tree City USA, and village figures drawn from U.S. Census data count about 1,413 housing units with a homeownership rate above 98% and a median home value of $515,400.

Amberley's combined Police and Fire Department, created shortly after incorporation, is one of only about 30 consolidated public-safety departments known in the United States.

Amberley has no school district of its own; village children attend schools in the Cincinnati Public School District.
