Cincinnati Overview

Cincinnati, Ohio is a vibrant and livable US city in the Midwest. It is sometimes referred to as the northernmost Southern city, and is a transportation and cultural crossroads between the north and south due to its location on the Ohio and Licking Rivers and it’s links to the Mississippi and the South. Cincinnati is experiencing positive employment growth, particularly in the financial services, commercial, and manufacturing industries. Proctor & Gamble and Fifth/Third are the largest employers in the city. The city is known for its Germanic and Gothic architecture such as the Music Hall, Cincinnatian Hotel and the Shillito department store building. Cincinnati is also home to the Cincinnati Reds, the oldest Major League Baseball franchise and the Cincinnati Bengals.

What is the history of Cincinnati?

Settled in 1788, Cincinnati was the first city founded after the American Revolution. The city’s riverside location opened the city to rapid shipping and growth during the early 19th century following the development of steamboats. The shipping industry allowed Cincinnati to build close ties with St. Louis and New Orleans. During the 19th century, Cincinnati was a boomtown rivaling the more established cities of the East coast in size and wealth due, despite not having the influx of European immigrants that other more coastal cities enjoyed during that time. The city has a large German background due to the migration of German families from the east, primarily Pennsylvania.

How is the weather in Cincinnati?

Cincinnati has a temperate climate characterized by warm, humid summers and cold, snowy winters with beautiful springs and autumns in between. The average temperatures reach a high of 88F and a low of 22F in the winter. The city sees an average rainfall of 44 inches and 25 inches of snow over the winter. Cincinnati benefits from approximately 180 sunny days each year.

How do I get around town?

Cincinnati has a bus system called the Metro. The buses move throughout the city and surrounding areas, broken up into six zones. The fares range from $1.75 for a single ride in Zone 1 to 4.25 for a ride from Zone 5, as of 2016. All day ride passes can also be purchased as well as 30 day rolling passes for regular commuters. Cincinnati residents can also take advantage of the TANK (Transit Authority of Northern Kentucky).

What is the Cincinnati commute like?

The good news is that Cincinnati has some of the shortest commute times of any major city in the United States. A recent study from the US Census bureau states that less than 3% of Cincinnatians spend more than an hour commuting compared to an 8% national average. The local advice is to find home close to where you work or go to school and that even around Univeristy of Cincinnati and Xavier, there are quiet family-friendly places to live. The major highways, 71, 75, and I275 are the traffic veins through the city and all of them are known to be snarly during rush hour. There are alternatives, Ronald Regan/126, Norwood Lateral 562, and Ft. Washington Way that run between 71 and 75.

What are the local media outlets?

Whatever the morning commute, local radio stations 103.5 WGRR, 700 WLW, Warm98, and the Fox92.5 keep listeners up to date with traffic, local and national news.

Cincinnati is great if you're active and street smart. It has parks, the Ohio River, and lots of restaurants. There are many popular/famous employers, too. The issue is the traffic, to be honest, is pretty severe, especially if you have to cross into Kentucky. Just keep that in mind!

Cincinnati is a large midwestern city with something to offer just about anyone. The city itself has 52 neighborhoods with unique character and charm, plus some beautiful late 19th century architecture that I've never seen anywhere else not on the East Coast. Dozens of townships and smaller cities surround the city proper, and each of these has its own vibe and character. We love living here!
