What are transportation options and challenges in Cincinnati, Ohio?

Cincinnati has a lot to offer. It’s got loads of history (founded in 1788), culture (excellent art museums, a World-Class Symphony, major league sports teams, global cuisine), and the cost of living is amongst the lowest in the country for a major city of 1 million+ people. But it doesn’t feel that big, with distinctive neighborhoods and two major interstates that making commuting less of a hassle than a lot of other cities where I’ve lived or visited. I’m not from here, and would happily stay for life, but I love cold, snowy winters, but we don’t get a whole lot of them here.

Cincinnati is best viewed as a group of neighborhoods instead of as an homogeneous mass. The neighborhood that you choose to live in will greatly affect your experiences as a resident. Neighborhoods like Northside or OTR are walkable and filled with small, locally-owned businesses. Neighborhoods like Anderson are more suburban in character and great for families looking for a well-run school system.
