Hi, can anyone tell me about good and bad areas in Cincinnati? |
Travel Info I'm moving from Bloomington, Indiana, and would like to know which areas are unsafe in terms of crime and which areas to avoid. I would also like to know where the nice, relatively safe neighborhoods are, with restaurants, groceries, theatres, etc. I am looking at a few apartments in the Hyde Park area, but I don't know if you have any recommendations. I will deeply appreciate any advice/suggestions. Thanks. Travel Tips If you're working at Xavier, Hyde Park is a nice location - if you can afford it. There are also the communities of Mount Adams and Mount Lookout, which are about a 10-15 minute commute to X. All of these neighborhoods tend to be a bit pricey, though. A more economical option would be Norwood, which is the municipality bordering Xavier; it's a decent enough town - though not as glitzy and glamorous as Hyde Park - and most areas are pretty safe. It would mean a shorter commute than the other options. Others I live near Oxford, so I am not really close to Cincinnati but I know Over The Rhine is seriously scarey!! Try calling the local police departments and ask them about the number of break-ins per year, the number of murders, assaults, etc, before signing a lease or anything! stay out of the cincinnati city limits. from what you're telling us here, fairfield is a perfect fit. tons of apartments, condos & townhomes. check out wildwood. as safe an area as you'll get in cincy area. theaters and restaurants all around. and the greatest grocery store in the world - jungle jims. seriously, i've lived in and around fairfield for many years, take a ride in the area, it's you. I've always liked the Kenwood area but too pricey for me. It has everything you've mentioned. Mason/West Chester are good areas too but not as close to downtown (about 35-45 minutes) depending on what part of Mason/West Chester. If you want a safe neighborhood, take the advice as mentioned above, stay out of the City limits. Good Luck! It depends on where you work and if you have family. Over-the-Rhine is the place to avoid. Also don't stay in Price Hill or Bond Hill or Avondale. The suburbs of West Chester and Mason are good and the school district is great also. If you single, people tend to want to live in the Hyde Park, Oakley area. Kenwood is also nice. If you will be working downtown, Hyde Park would be your best bet. Commuting from West Chester or Mason downtown can be painful. HF I got an apartment in Norwood for rent. Safe neighborhood in the presidential area. It is near Hyde park but for less money and the same type of apts( 100 + yr old homes ,beautiful woodwork,hardwood floors and very convenient to downtown. Sits between I-71 and I-75 Contact me eldoradodave@yahoo.com. It is 1st floor,1 bdrm or 2.laundry facilities quiet neighborhood where we all know each other on this street. Convenient to all of Greater Cinci and N Ky |
