Cat • 1+ years in Cincinnati

June 14, 2026

Depending on the part of Cincinnati you're looking at, you'll feel highly connected to the city life or a part of a more rural area. The nice thing about Cinci is that it's very close to both Kentucky (Lexington is about an hour away) and Columbus (also about 1-1.5 hours away), connecting you with two big cities within a short drive. The traffic can be pretty awful on the highways around Cinci, though, so keep that in mind if you have to commute, especially over the bridge.

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!
