BamatoCincy

Howdy, My partner's job will be relocating us to Cincinnati from Montgomery, Al. I grew up outside of Cleveland, and lived in the Edgewater area of Cleveland many years ago, as well as a year in Columbus. But I don't know much about Cincy, other than King's Island. We are looking for a neighborhood that will be friendly both to us, and our dogs (there are 5 of them!). I've looked at the houses in Northside and am not that impressed, so not necessarily looking for the gay 'hood just where we won't be the only ones around for miles. We do need some sort of yard for the dogs, so a downtown condo won't work, but it doesn't have to be large if there are parks nearby. The places so far of interest are Hyde Park, Mt Lookout, Clifton, Columbia Tusculum and Walnut Hills, with a price range of under 350K. We also used to live in South Beach, Miami. I am very much looking forward to again being in an area where I can walk to shops/restaurants etc. Out of these areas which really have the most places within walking distance? Which other area might be worth looking at? And Which of the parks are dog friendly? Thanks for any help!! Steven
