Greenhills is a village in Hamilton County, Ohio, United States. The population was 3,615 at the 2010 census. It is a planned community that was established by the United States government during the Great Depression.
As one of three "Greenbelt Communities" built by the short-lived Resettlement Administration during the 1930s (the other two are Greenbelt, Maryland and Greendale, Wisconsin), Greenhills was designed to be surrounded by a "belt" of woodland and natural landscaping. According to historian James W. Loewen, Greenhills, like the other six "FDR towns", was founded as a sundown town, using restrictive covenants to prevent minorities from purchasing homes there. Many families include third- and fourth-generation descendants of the village's original "pioneers" who occupied the original International-style townhomes. The original government-built area, the Greenhills Historic District, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is a National Historic Landmark. Also listed on the National Register in the community is the James Whallon House, which serves as the village hall.
Greenhills is located at 39°16′7″N 84°31′2″W / 39.26861°N 84.51722°W (39.268608, -84.517284).
