Pros and Cons of Living in Cincinnati, OH - Moving to Cincinnati or Northern Kentucky

[@BassNotes_B-Rad]

I can vouch that Cincinnati has some of the best milkshakes in the country. UDF & Graeters combined

[@TeamSztanyo]

Was just talking about this with some friends.😋

[@deke76]

Both good but hands down the best milkshake I've ever had was from Aglamesis.

[@feliciasampson8032]

I lived in California for decades...I rooted vociferously for the Bengals this year! I was upset for days. I'm a 49ers/Seahawks fan, but...along with Green Bay, and New England (I'm from Boston), I am adopting the Bengals!

[@KristophM]

YES! I love my Cincinnati ❤️

It is Cincinnati but it’s Creamy Whip or Pendleton Parlor (same owner/product).

[@boogitybear2283]

I am originally from North of Nashville(almost Rural Suburbs). I have lived in Cincinnati over 7 years and have been extremely happy here. I can’t get over how centrally located the city is to the United States. I am close yet far away from Relatives and that’s how I like it!

[@huffs4volsgovols]

Thats where I live north of Nashville Hendersonville. And we come to Cincinnati alot to get away from Nashville love Cincinnati and love OTR Exp

[@piachy]

it maybe centrallly located based on geography, but not in terms of travel.. very few direct flights out of the local airport, which makes it a pain in the ass to travel anywhere, especially internationally

Cincy is a secret, for now. We considered Raleigh - we got priced out. Cincy is where Raleigh was around 1999… by the time people know about it, it’ll be ridiculously expensive and those prices are rising. Relatively moderate weather by midwest standards, excellent school districts (in the expensive suburbs) and not a lot of traffic/overpopulation.

[@TheMelloFx]

I live in Raleigh right now. It’s crazy expensive. I’m paying $1300+ for a 1bd 1bth

I'm from Canada (Ontario - north, then south) have been here for 4 years. Pros: Love that it's so wooded (grew up Northern Ontario where towns are 60 miles apart with nothing but forest in between them), love the bike trails and hiking opportunities, love all of the breweries! Cons: Very hard to meet people here (most people are from here and have friends from their childhood, they even ask you what high school you went to instead of which college/university). For similar reasons, it's hard finding someone to date if you're single.

There are no shortages of things to do in Orlando, but cost of living will reflect that for sure and also traffic can be bad

[@calvingregory2017]

I grew up in Cincinnati, I left in 2012 to move to Seattle where my brother was living, and he convinced me to move. Seattle is great but it's no Cincinnati. I was 41 when I moved so Cincinnati is a part of my genetic makeup. The one thing I always tell people, who after finding out I lived in Cincinnati (and once they stop singing the WKRP theme song) is what was the best part about it. I would say that it was a mid-sized city with big city amenities. It's great, because it's not too big, but we are not left behind when it comes to the latest and greatest things a big city usually has. We are like a big city that wasn't full of itself in a sense. The people are great, always will be. It's beautiful, the river is great and my trips to Newport and Convington were great as well. The Bengals did make it to the playoffs in the 2000's but the QB got sacked/injured early on. We had high hopes, but the fill-in QB wasn't as seasoned as he could have been. I am not a huge sports fan, but I do enjoy going to games, but I'd be lying if I were to say I knew all the names :) I did sort of at the time though. After I moved, they started getting better, and like you said they made the playoffs like five years in a row. Seattle is a huge sports town, in the same vein as Cincinnati. They are diehards and sometimes it's tough being a fan here as well. Though they did go to back-to-back Superbowls when I first moved here (or around then). I always say that when Seattle plays, I root for them UNLESS they are playing Cincy. However, if Cincy loses, then I am not as heartbroken as I would have been when I was living in Cincy. It's kind of like my team didn't win but my second team did, if that makes sense. So, it takes some of the sting out of things. You forgot to tell everyone that we put the chili on spaghetti. Everyone thinks I am mad until they taste it. Until Amazon Fresh started carrying Skyline Chili, I had to make do with Hormel. Not the same, but kind of made it less unbearable. Also, I remember in grade school, and we would all love it when we got chili spaghetti for lunch. Though it was a bit crazy hearing a bunch of fourth and fifth graders getting excited about a three way. lol. It's like "awesome, we're having a three way today!!" Oh, to be young and innocent again :) I do miss the main Public Library location. I used to do a lot of writing there and I did a lot of reading/researching things just for fun. I learned a lot about history and old Hollywood and old Comic strips that way. Cincinnati had so many options and so many activities you could do even if you were broke (which is how I grew up). I lived in Over-the-Rhine back in the 70s until about 94 then moved to College Hill and then off to Colerain Twnshp. So many great memories. And going to Sawyer Point and walking along the Serpentine Wall are memories I will always cheris.

another great thing is in northern Kentucky and mostly Covington there's a big football and cheer community for children. I grew up in Covington and did cheer for years and met a bunch of amazing people and we always had a lot of fun especially with the Tiger Bowl (it's basically like the super bowl but with every age group) and rain or shine we play and cheer and the football and cheer community actually help the community a lot with different things either being fundraising for the homeless or at risk people or community service and volunteering to help different people. it also helps single parents be able to work later because it's after school and no matter your situation the parents and organizers are willing to help you out weather it be you need someone to pick your kid up from school to get them to practice or you can't afford to buy new cleats and they either have an old or extra pear that your kid can have

While it is mostly busses they show up on time. You can find out to the minute when the next bus is going to show up (something SEPTA sadly lacks). I wish they ran at least one bus after closing time at least from the Northside to Downtown it would make it much easier to attend shows.

[@LauraJdogmom]

I live in West Price Hill. Where did you get your tacos? Have you tried Tacos Time yet?

Coming from LA... NKY isn't too bad but idk I don't care for Cincy much

[@TeamSztanyo]

Thanks for sharing.

[@HK-nc7fr]

From LA too, sames. Their parks and downtown architecture, and ice cream are much better than LA. Other than that it lacks diversity in its people, food, basically everything. It's a growing city so I have hope for it.

[@alderbobonick2659]

The thing about living from Hamilton down is half the time the weather is wrong, it could say "rain starting soon" and then it's like 20 percent humidity, it could also be the opposite. Also, the city is nicknamed Porkopolis so there are a lot of good places to eat, my favorite out-of-town restaurant is probably Fords Garage in Norwood And we went to the super bowl in 2022 go Bengals!

[@jasontrautz]

I have lived in NKY for 8 years, but I am from South Jersey/ Philly. I don't think you can blame the river for lack of subway. The Delaware River is twice the size and it still has a subway. People just don't want to pay the larger cost, and the Mid-West was screwed over by the big Motor companies back in the 70s. The big three promised passes cities like Cincinnati and Pittsburgh we get rid of street cars and not build subways. The Problem was cities had to still build roads and infrastructure and pay for transit authorities and Depot's. I love Cinny,, but what doesn't help transportation is every new music and sports venue is being built downtown. The city isn't made to deal with that kind of congestion.

[@TeamSztanyo]

Good insight. Thanks for sharing.

[@chriswells2953]

I come from Philly myself and most of what was said in this video is not true. This is one of the worst cities to live especially if you're black. There is no diversity, it's racist as hell, the food is awful, the transportation is poor and the people are not nice. Most are fake, backstabbing, narrowminded, haters with no personality. These people here are not nice and many have personality disorders. Good food is in Philly, it's way more diverse, it has many historical landmarks and the people aren't fake. You will know if they don't like you. The only historical landmarks Cincinnati has is Union Terminal, and the underground railroad. Cincinnati is so racist that even if a black person has a PHD they will be treated as if they didn't even have a high school diploma. Cincinnati is just a low class city made up of people who want to feel superior over others.

100% LEGIT. Cincy, coming north on 75 is the greatest skyline in the US. No disputing it. Great city, people, culture. The indie music scene? ...just can't do goetta though.

[@jesussalinas7776]

I want to live there!!!! I passed by and omg beautiful once you go down hill from 71 wow!!!!

[@3506Dodge]

The only pros to Cincinnati is that it's incredibly cheap and it's not as cold as the Great Lakes or as hot as the South. You can live there on remarkably little money. It has a low cost of living with decent, but not great, medical care and social activities. The cultural life of Cincy revolves around sports and beer. It's a working-class town and most people are locally born and raised. If you aren't, you'll get a cool reaction from most.

[@TeamSztanyo]

Honest take. Hope you get a warmer reaction from others soon. :)

[@wendywelsh8729]

It's all what you make of it. I moved here as a young professional & made lots of friends by joining volleyball leagues, ski club. We became great friends & played sand volleyball & indoor volleyball all over the city. We boated on the river, wakeboarding, Riverbend concerts, trips to Lake Cumberland. Sign up for Little Miami triathlon & train together biking with folks at Loveland, Lunken. Outdoor concerts. It helps to join a club or group where others are looking to meet people also. Take a group golf lesson & you'll have new friends to golf with or tennis. Garden club. Get involved with a church. Endless activities wirh many welcoming folks. Good luck.

[@poutinedream5066]

Now THAT is a pro I can agree with. I was a frequent flyer as a kid, then passed the torch to my younger daughter. When she was 16, she was playing blindfolded Marco Polo and ran fast as she could into a tree. I took her to Children's- again. 5 serious looking docs had her in a huge neck brace. She had a couple cuts on her face and one side was swelling up. They were asking her questions like did she hit the windshield? And she would just give them a confused look. Finally, one of the docs asked was she wearing a seat belt. Finally she's like "oh I wasn't driving. I actually RAN into a tree." I saw the smirks as they started looking at each other over her mangled body. Three of them dramatically turned away, snatching off their gloves, shaking their heads. 🤣 On the way out, one came back and said "I knew I've seen you before. Listen, when you feel the urge to say to your friends "hey! Watch this!"- DON'T DO IT!!! Wise words.

Yes. I visited here and considered making it home, It was a minute of insanity. I can't afford it. I have to use a service dog and if I can't take her with me where I need to go, then it's not a place I can be. I'm an epileptic and she's been trained to assist me so I can live independent. I have multiple skills so I could work part time in different area of employment. I was also looking at going back to college. I was interested in a degree in either Law or English. But it's not affordable for anyone older middle age widow who is drawing disability.

Wonderful review ~ Having moved to Cincinnati from Louisville 20 years ago; I can agree with most of the Pros in your comments, especially the terrific view of the city while traveling north through the Cut in the Hill... and while we're in that area, no one can deny that the Brent Spence is not only horrible, it is dangerous as well. I very much disagree with the comments about public transportation. When I move to the city (Delhi), I did not have a car, was attending Cincinnati Community College and relied on the Metro; in my opinion, it was nearly perfect... at least for my needs. Certainly agree that the Streetcar is a waste of money. In some ways, Cincinnati reminds me of Louisville: friendly people, generally a laid-back atmosphere... and a metropolitan region with a 'small town feel'. Thanks for the presentation. I am now subscribed

[@schwarry1]

If you don't know the bridge, the exits, and the path that you need, it is dangerous. It is more of a struggle coming north, than going south. It is tight, narrow, and you better know what lane you need before you get to the bridge.

[@nickphillips2125]

@@schwarry1 I agree. After using the bridge for 20 years, I'm familiar with how to deal with the traffic... however, there or thousand of vehicles per day driven by people who are not familiar with the bridge making an effort to navigate
