I am moving to Cincinnati and would like to live in an urban area. What are the nicest neighborhoods?

Answer 1

Samantha's suggestions are good - especially Oakley & Clifton. Also, there's O'Bryanville, which is close to Hyde Park but not as expensive.

Parts of KY have some good spots. Parts of Ludlow and Covington have nice areas and you can walk to the restaurants and shops in Mainstrasse. Parts of Newport are nice and you can walk to Newport on the Levee, Southgate House, and even Downtown Cincinnati.

There's always Downtown Cincinnati, too. There isn't much there in the way of walking to shops, but the city is trying to change that and you can get tax credits. Also, depending on where you're coming from, the crime issue is all relative. Downtown, Liberty Hill, Over-the-Rhine, are all livable - you just have to be alert like in any other city.

Answer 2

Ugh to any of the places in Kentucky. Why? Well, reason #1 is that they are in Kentucky. Anyway, by urban, I am assuming that you mean that the inner ring suburbs are out (if not, the nicest of those would be Indian Hill. Glendale, Wyoming, Montgomery and Blue Ash are also very nice, but are definite inner ring suburbs). So, if you really want to be more in the City than the Suburbs, then I would suggest the Hyde Park area. Quite Urban, old houses with character, nicer and less crime than many other parts of downtown, etc. But, you will also pay a definite premium to live there. The only other 1 I can say is nice is Mt Adams if you dont mind the parking situation or the party atmosphere (it is a fun place). Unfortunately thats about all I can give you- many of the other more urban neighborhoods, such as Price Hill, Northside, Avondale, Over The Rhine, etc, have some cool looking old houses in them and some things like that, but they are run down and not very safe at all.

Answer 3

Unquestionably, Mount Adams ranks among the top urban neighborhoods and is adjacent to downtown offering fabulous views of the city and the Ohio River. It includes the Cincinnati Art Museum and the Playhouse in the Park, as well as one of the city's most popular green spaces, Eden Park, which is home to the Krohn Conservatory, the area's major botantical garden.
The Riverside Drive Historic District in Covington, within walking distance of downtown Cincinnati is also atop the lists. On the National Register of Historic Places, the tightly knit neighborhood offers an array of housing options, from single family mansions to smaller town homes, apartments and condominiums.
Clifton, located about 2.5 miles north of downtown, features the University of Cincinnati and its ancillary attractions, offering an urban density and vitality favored among the young.
Hyde Park is an upscale neighborhood located approximately 5 miles northeast of downtown and is among the city's wealthiest enclaves.
There is a growing number of downtown residential properties from which to choose as well, from apartments to condominiums, and even a few single-family townhomes located along the fringes.
So much depends upon whether you're single or married, have school-age children, and the types of activities you enjoy.

Answer 4

Hyde Park is urban and very nice. Mt. Adams is young and has a nice urban feel to it. The Oakley area is also really cool and there is a lot of urban renewal going on. Clifton has nice places and is close to UC and near a lot of good bars.

Montgomery, Indian Hill, Madeira, and Mariemont are really close to the city but are still suburbs. West Chester and Mason are 20 minutes from the city w/o rush hour traffic, but are really nice areas and good for real estate investment.

The rest of inner city Cincinnati is pretty rough.

Answer 5

kinfolk existence is a negotiated settlement. Cincinnati comes out on the coolest end of a sizeable sort of compromises. it is super sufficient to help expert activities communities, a maximum stunning determination of museums and galleries, 4 public radio stations, 4 universities interior the metro section, and a super sort of eating places and theaters. Hyde Park and Oakley, working example, help a finished of 12 Asian eating places, from Indian to Thai and ***. The neighborhoods are oftentimes incredibly self-contained, and individuals turns into attentive to with their 4-corners. yet that's sufficiently small so as that when a couple of minutes, you will locate your way around and start to experience which you comprehend some human beings. it is chilly sufficient interior the wintertime so as that we don't have problems with snakes and bugs in the process the summer season. The winters are basic sufficient the natives by no skill extremely basic procedures to tension in snow. that's a properly-engineered city, and extremely free of scandals and corruption. there replace right into a flap a pair years in the past whilst a number of the staff have been stealing hubcaps on the impound lot. In Chicago, that's seen a job perk. If we had a mountain or a coastline, we would could beat the travelers off with vast sticks. once you hear to AM radio, keep in mind that undesirable information sells papers, and journalism is prepared gossip. you are able to tension 20 minutes in any direction frm downtown and you're interior the country. in case you have toddlers, you are able to look into inner maximum faculties for them.

Answer 6

If you want Urban, you must mean close to the city so besides the obvious: downtown and there is a lot available there at a variety of prices; there is the Hyde Park, Oakley (more collegy), Mt Adams.

There are a lot of suburbs that are close tothe city too: Wyoming/Finneytown, White Oak, Sycamore, BlueAsh, Montgomery, Glendale

Answer 7

good answers.

I particularily recomend hyde park, clifton, and mount adams.

Hyde Park is nice with beautiful old homes, but expensive and yuppiesh. very safe. Oakly and mount lookout are similar. hyde park is the neighbood of choice for most in the city.

I love Clifton. its as cosmopolitan and liberal as cincy can get. lots of great foriegn restaurants. beautiful older homes. lots of nice bars. cheaper than hyde park. some areas can get a bit unsafe though.

Mount Adams is interesting. smaller expensive homes and apartments. great views of the city. Chad Johnson (ocho cinco) lives there. Mount Adams is the city's greatest landmark, but i'm not sure if I'd want to live there.

focus on the east side.

Answer 8

I think West Chester township is the nicest place close to Cincy. It is about 30 minutes south on the I-75 highway. The homes are upscale, the economy is booming, the schools are great. The school there is Lakota Shools. The crime is low, the police department is excellant. And the shopping is supurb. To top it all off, the area is very pretty and appealing.
