Posted July 19, 201410 yr Talked to a head hunter this week about a job in Cincinnati. It would require I stay there during the week or move. Currently live about 5 hours away in an area we really like. I'd appreciate helpful insights from current and recent inhabitants on living there.
July 19, 201410 yr Do you own a home? Can you sell and not be underwater or take a big hit. Married with kids, how old are they? Difficult to uproot kids in high school. Where do you currently live? The new job what part of Cincy is it located? I think Greater Cincy is a great place to live.

July 19, 201410 yr If you could describe what you like about your current location, and/or what you would like to have in a new place, we can tell you if it's available in the Cincinnati area. Being that this is UrbanOhio, most of us are interested in city life and what that has to offer. So we're pretty well versed in the attributes of urban neighborhoods, and how they measure up in Cincinnati versus other cities. General positives: Attractive historic architecture, variety from dense urban to large lawns (even within the city), strong cultural identity, lots of high-quality cultural amenities (museums, zoo, theater, symphony, etc.), high degree of economic (class) diversity, city center that's on a strong upwards trajectory Neutral: Laid-back, quasi-European vibe; unique blend of Midwest, South, Northeast cultures General negatives: Many people have an insular outlook, the metro (not so much the city) is very conservative (to me this is a negative), there is a strong city-suburb cultural/political divide, some people find it hard to get into a social group because there are so many natives with life-long friend groups (not everyone has this problem), not much ethnic diversity
