Oregon St, Mount Adams

Oregon St is a small little one way street in the middle of downtown. You will never get in a traffic jam on this street but you might as soon as you turn off it. Oregon St is in a busy area, like most all other downtown living areas, but offers great views of downtown cincinnati and the Ohio River is a stone-throw away.

Oregon Street is in Mt. Adams. It's a short, little one-way street that would go overlooked by most people but shouldn't. If you drive on Oregon (or park on it and walk around), you'll have some of the best views of all of Cincinnati, including the buildings, river, and Great American Ballpark.

Oregon Street is pretty quiet. Most of the dwellings are very nice, but it is an expensive area based on the prime location. Mostly full of young professionals who like the peace, quiet, and safety of a nice neighborhood while still having lots to do nearby. We have a friend that lives there, so we stop by occasionally.

The City View Tavern is located on Oregon Street. It was recently entered into the "best burger in Cincinnati" contest, and I can say from experience that it is one of the best. It has a balcony with a great view, too.

If you want to be really close to all of the bars and nightlife in Mt. Adams, this isn't the closest street to them. But, if you want to get some good exercise, you can hoof it up the hill. It's definitely within walking distance of anything you'd want to do downtown, like Party in the Park or Reds games.

Most parking is off-street and it's a one-way street, but I've always managed to get a parking space pretty easily.
