Cincinnati, OH Area Reviews
Catrina • 1+ years in Cincinnati
January 19, 2026Cincinnati 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!

February 25, 2025Cincinnati 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!
