The Clifton Heights Business District of the fifties is completely gone and developed into businesses that cater to university students as there are few families remaining. Currently, the area has been essentially razed in hopes of more contemporary businesses while developers have yet to agree on an economically feasible plan. It is located in the area of McMillan Street and Calhoun Street between Vine/Jefferson and Clifton Avenue, immediately south of the University of Cincinnati campus. Currently, there remains the vacant but architecturally significant St. George School and church that so long as it remains acts as either a headstone or marker for the neighborhood around which these building were the heart.
Clifton Heights is home to the Hughes Center, a vocational and special-purpose high school. Its current Clifton Heights location was built in 1906. Currently there are five college prep schools housed at Hughes. The Paideia High School, the High School for Communications Professions and Health Professions, High School for Teaching and Technology and the Cincinnati Academy of Mathematics and Science (CAMAS). Clifton Heights is also home to the Kreuck recreation complex, a large indoor recreation center which is located on the campus of the Hughes Center. The Kreuck complex is a public facility operated by the Cincinnati Recreation Commission. Bellevue Hill, a 15-acre (61,000 m2) city park located at Ohio Avenue, is well known for its overlook of downtown Cincinnati.
