Characteristics

Transportation

Florence is particularly car friendly. It is very easy to come across a place to park, and the majority of properties for sale are a rather short car ride from the nearest highway, such as I-71. Florence is not very cycling-friendly since there are a fair number of hills to challenge cyclists, and the cycling network is not very extensive. Florence is also not very well-suited for pedestrians as running daily errands is sometimes difficult without a car.

Services

Property owners in Florence commonly have to turn to a car to purchase groceries in one of around 40 stores. Conversely, this area is a good place in which to eat out, for instance along Connector Drive, and there are also about 20 coffee shops in Florence. As far as education is concerned, high schools and primary schools are not particularly plentiful in this census county division, and thus not always within a short distance. In addition to public schools, there are private elementary and secondary schools.

Character

People who prefer a relaxed environment will enjoy Florence. Most areas in Florence are very quiet, as the streets are usually very calm near the railway line, one of the 2 airports (Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Intl,Estes), I-275 or I-71. Parks are spread out sporadically, which makes it occasionally hard to reach them. Despite that, there are over 100 green spaces close by for residents to unwind in, like Camp Ernst Lake and Earl and Hazel Jones Center for Conservation.
