Characteristics

Transportation

People who want to reside in a compact community will be pleased with the reasonably pedestrian-friendly character of this city; most day-to-day needs are convenient to meet without the use of a car, and various businesses are moderately close at hand. However, this city is not particularly conducive to bicycling because the cycling network is not very well-developed, and there are a fair number of hills. The public transit service in this part of the Cincinnati metropolitan area is not very frequent. Nevertheless, there are a few bus lines, and the nearest bus stop is usually very close by. In contrast, the car is very often the favored method to navigate this city. It is a rather short car ride to the nearest highway, such as I-275, from any location in this city, and parking is generally easy.
