"Very busy and kind of ugly, but convenient"

This street's biggest downside comes from the annoying traffic and the small lanes that keep you on edge when you're trying to pass a large truck or other vehicle. The upside is that, almost anything in the world that you need or want you can find on this street. I feel like the farther east you go on this street its gets a little uglier. They could do some improvements to the surrounding. Overall, a very convenient street but I wouldn't want to live on it.

"Traffic is terrible, but there's lots to see and do"

Beechmont Avenue is located in the Southeast corner of Cincinnati. If you drive 10 minutes further south, you're in Kentucky.

Beechmont runs through a few townships. I lived in Anderson, a nice, clean, safe community. When you turn on to Beechmont from any direction, you'll notice several things. There are restaurants, like Smokey Bones, Margarita's, Olive Garden, and Buffalo Wild Wings. There are H&R Blocks, Home Depot, Target, banks and ATMs, cell phone stores, etc. Pretty much anything you need or want to do, it's there. There are also several doctor's offices, good schools in the area, and plenty of nice parks and sidewalks nearby for your dogs.

The worst thing about Beechmont is the traffic, which is pretty much constant. It's not as bad during off-peak times during the day, but if you commute to work, you'll want to leave early or go late. I generally stayed at work until 6 just so I could avoid some of the blocked up traffic on Beechmont on my way home. Depending on how much traffic there is, you can make it down the street in anywhere from 10-30 minutes.

There are apartment complexes and houses in this area. Lots of young professionals, families with small children, even retirees. It's a very friendly area. Even with the traffic, people don't usually get irate and start honking their horns needlessly.

"Lots of things to do, traffic can be bad."

Beechmont Ave, also known as State Route 125 and Ohio Pike, is a long street with lots of shops, restaurants and gas stations along it. A new movie theater, Pierce Point, just opened at the intersection of Beechmont and Bach-Buxton. Whenever I'm driving I tend to avoid it, because of the frequent traffic lights and during the evenings there can be a lot of traffic. If you're trying to get somewhere, try to take an alternate route around like I-275 rather than driving along Beechmont, it will make your way a lot quicker.
