Cincinnati, OH Area Reviews
Joey • 1+ years in Cincinnati
February 25, 2025Cincinnati 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!
