Best Side Neighborhood Coalition
Neighbors helping neighbors.
The Best Side isn’t just a nickname - we’re building it, together.
The West Side has always been proud to call itself the Best Side—and we believe there’s room to do more to live up to that. The Best Side Neighborhood Coalition is a group of neighbors coming together to make Cheviot and the West Side more connected, more beautiful, and more supportive.
BSNC believes in a thriving, connected West Side where neighbors know each other, share skills and resources, and build a greener, more beautiful future together. Simply put: we care about the people and places around us.
Our Pillars
A greener, more beautiful neighborhood makes life better for everyone. Trees provide shade, reduce heat, and improve air quality. Flowers and murals make our streets feel cared for and welcoming. When people take pride in where they live, communities thrive.
Greening +
Beautification
Life is easier when we don’t have to go it alone; not everyone has family nearby. When we step up for one another, it makes life easier, safer, and more affordable for everyone. A community where neighbors share what they have—whether that’s time, tools, or knowledge—is more resilient and supportive.
Neighbor
Support
When we spend time together, we stop being strangers and start being neighbors. We know there’s a lot already happening in the area, but we want to make sure everyone finds a place where they feel like they fit in. To that point, we want to improve communications so that we can stay connected and involved.
Gathering &
Communication
We are creating spaces to dream and plan for the future, where we transform neighbors from passive residents into co-creators of their environment. We know people want to be more involved, but life usually gets in the way. We’re here to facilitate and easier approach to a future vision.
