"OTR: Home to the Hip and Trendy"
Over-the-Rhine is by far my favorite neighborhood in Cincinnati. I'm a young guy, so the overall atmosphere of youth and energy really appeals to me. I love going for walks down one Vine & Main St. These streets have actually become historic landmarks, and for good reason: they're beautiful. I consistently am blown away by the significant works of art that are either permanent, temporary and ephemeral, and span murals, sculpture, bike racks all around OTR. It is certainly one of the more picturesque areas in the city.
I should also mention that a walk is also nice because of the safety of the neighborhood. I never feel nervous going for a walk.
The neighborhood consistently boasts some of the hottest restaurants in town, with seemingly a new restaurant or bar opening every week. People tend to flock here for the food & the nightlife, and while crowded, its not overwhelming or disturbing.
Places aren't too bad in terms of price/rent, and there are a lot of younger professionals in the area, so you can trust that you'll enjoy living here. I'd loved every minute of it since I've moved here. Highly recommended.
