'Rain Man' House In Foreclosure
The home where the 1988 movie 'Rain Man' was filmed has had a hard year. The home in The Cincinnati Enquirer reports that Ach was foreclosed on by Cinco Family Financial Credit Union after he failed to pay the credit union $1.4 million for two mortgages with Cinco. This appears to the be the second round of foreclose for Ach on this house. The Enquirer says that in 2003 he was was sued for foreclosure and the house was sold at public auction to an attorney for a company owned by former Cincinnati Reds owner Carl Lindner, a friend of Ach's family. It was was transferred back to Ach in 2007 when Ach took out the mortgages with Cinco.

Cincinnati, Ohio - not East Walnut Hills, Ohio. "The Cincinnati neighborhood of East Walnut Hills," maybe. Thanks.

Was that really a Member's Only jacket - not for sale but being worn by the auctioneer - in the video piece? Is this place is some sort of time warp? In a tip to the Rain Man association me thinks the rose bushes are gone from out back ;>
It looks like a very nice home from the exterior shots although it isn't in the Indian Hills community and is in the East Walnut Hills section of the greater city. Other old stately homes in that area but this isn't 1920 anymore and they're mixed in and around less then stately urban elements.

Who would pay that much to live in Cincinnati let alone Ohio? Yawn! Dumpy city and state. Yuck!

That picture of them walking in the drive way lined with trees is not even at the house this article is talking about. That scene was filmed in the long driveway at the St. Anne Convent in Melbourne, Kentucky - about 20 miles south of Cincinnati.
.
The trees are now gone.

That scene was when Cruise took Hoffman away from the "home" (asylum) where he was kept.

Don't think that we who enjoy this area very much are concerned about your low opinion.
.
In fact, include me in the long list of people who are ecstatic that you live ANYWHERE else.

It was foreclosed and sold in 2003, but the deadbeat owner was able to get another mortgage and buy it back in 2007?????? WTF?? Any bank or credit union stupid enuf to lend that guy money again deserves its losses.

He got foreclosed in 2003, then the credit union gave him 2 mortgages in 2007. They don't deserve our taxpayer funded bailout.

Guess he loved that house, but the house just did not love him back.

Cincinnati is a lovely city. I live in Lexington, KY and make a trip there a few times a year to visit relatives. The downtown area is very nice although I am not familiar with the area mentioned above. We've attended many of the Cincinnati Reds games, visited the Cincinnati Zoo , the Carew Tower, shopped around the area, and eaten many a great meal in numerous restaurants. I love Cincinnati and her citizens, and I wish my city would take better care of our older neighborhoods and try to save them instead of destroying them.

I think it's time for Dustin Hoffman to retire away from the Paparazzi. It could become an exclusive ($$$$) Hoffman Bed & Breakfast Actor's Studio School.

Since the article is about the house WHY don't they show a photo of the house ???
