The exciting city of Cincinnati is situated on the north side of the Ohio River and nestles among the hills. This location has allowed its population to affectionately refer to it as the "Pearl of the West”. Nowadays it is  a busy industrial city and the headquarters of several large firms such as Proctor and Gamble. The city is also the seat of a respected university. Also the city enjoys a wide range of recreational/cultural facilities.

It lies just across the Ohio river from Kentucky and roughly three hundred miles from Detroit and Chicago. This dynamic commercial metropolis has a definitive European flavour and sense of the South. The tidy city centre, rich in architecture and culture, lies within a few minutes’ walk of the arty Mount Adams district, the attractive riverfront and the lively Over-the-Rhine area, in the north end of downtown

History: Settlers, many from Germany, established themselves here in late 17th century. Interestingly, name of the town was dreamt up by some admirers of the Roman general Cincinnatus. The Ohio River is wide and navigable and this certainly helped its early growth, indeed it came to be the main economic centre of the Mid West.   Naturally the arrival of the railroad reduced the importance of the river. The mid eighteen hundreds saw the founding of the first US professional baseball team. The Cincinnati Reds.

'Cincy' lies at the south of Ohio a state which is rich with history. More U.S. presidents have come from Ohio than any other state, the Wright brothers' workshop in Dayton launched today's aviation industry, and so much more. Arguably Ohio's most significant contribution to our nation's history is the Underground Railroad. With regard to housing it's hard to beat Cincinnati for affordability. The region's median home price of $148,700 in the third quarter was about 31% below the national median of $215,900, according to the National Association of Realtors. Low housing prices help keep the cost of living at 6% below the national average while the median household income in the area stands at $47,525 , or about 6.1% above the national level, according to Economy.com.
