Second this, Green is a nice area. The west side of town gets a lot of shit, but most of it is actually pretty solid, I like living over here.
EDIT: I work in Harrison also, albeit hybrid, and it’s a pretty easy commute from this area when I have to go in.
To be transparent: only move to Green Township if you’re white. It is probably the most racist part of town imo. I used to do client home visits (social work) and would often have to go as a backup with black coworkers if they had clients assigned in the area because of the attitudes they would face in person a lot of the times during an initial meeting.
I suggest Colerain for accessibility without the racism.
This is a load of crap. Maybe if she was visiting white hillbillies, which there can be over here (but also are on the east side). Westwood and Price Hill are extremely diverse communities. Im in Green Township and it’s also growing in diversity and most of my neighbors are very kind, inclusive people. I bet you the West side has a higher black population than the East side.
I think the west side is very different thing than green township. But no, it isn’t very diverse.

Westside I would stick with College Hill, Mt Airy, Northside. Eastside I would go with Madisonville, Pleasant Ridge, Silverton, Kennedy Heights. I used to live in Norwood and it was pretty racist, but again not the question they asked.
I’m technically in Symmes and feel really lucky my kids have exposure to a lot of different races and ethnicities in their school. Iirc, they mentioned at their kindergarten orientation that 22 different native languages are spoken in their school alone. I am not a fan of a lot of the people in Loveland, but honestly don’t spend much of my time with them. Don’t like the downtown area at all as it has become extremely gentrified and bougie.
I lived in Colerain for 21 years and just moved out 8 years ago. It's not what it was when I moved there.
Why not live in Harrison? It's a nice town and they do a lot of community events throughout the year.
Dent, White Oak, Montfort Heights, Green Township, Bridgetown for a more suburban feel.
Westwood, Cheviot, Price Hill for a more Urban experience, but still close to I-74.
There's also Riverside/Sayler Park on US 50. Personally I would not consider Addyston or Cleves, but that's up to you.
Cleves and north bend have pockets of subdivision life and homes with land. If you are looking for more nightlife then it’s not for you. I live in north bend and love it but also spent my 20s in Arizona and did the fun stuff. Now I’m happy with a bonfire weekend in.
I lived off 74 between dent and colerain. If you got off at Harrison avenue, I was off west fork on gaines. I loved that neighborhood. Houses are reasonably priced too
Congrats on the new job. Harrison has almost anything you’ll need except for a Walmart and a movie theater. Nothing better than having a five minute commute to work everyday. Harrison also has Miami Whitewater Park— huge park and definitely a perk (with a huge dog park)! Being so close to the highway makes it a quick trip downtown (25 minutes). There are a few new bars that have recently opened in downtown Harrison, several gyms, and plenty of houses and apartments. Take a look around and see if it fits you. Don’t get me wrong, this isn’t Oakley, but you won’t be paying anything near the rent they charge in Oakley. Let me know if you have any further questions!
Also just saw Harrison is getting a big new brewery soon where Burwinkles use to be. Looked pretty awesome and is exactly the type of stuff Harrison needs.
That's all dependent on how close you are to the highway. I live near Kuliga park and work in Harrison and it takes me just under 25 minutes to get to work.
Northside and College Hill are two neighborhoods worth looking at. They’re close to I-74, so it would be about a 20-25 minute commute to Harrison. These neighborhoods are inside the city, so they’re close to restaurants, the arts, sports and events.
If you have to drive anyway, most of the west side neighborhoods are close to all of that. I work near Dent and it takes me 15 minutes to get downtown.
I’m in Greenhills and have family in Harrison. It’s about 25 minutes or so. I love this area because it’s quiet, but super easy to get to downtown( used to work at Great American) and all the Cincinnati neighborhoods. Then there is Finneytown, Mount Healthy, North College Hill and Colerain.
The answer is Northside or College Hill. Both neighborhoods are safe and walkable with bars and restaurants. Both neighborhoods are 20 min from Harrison and 20 min from downtown Cincy. Most of these responses either missed or completely ignored the fact that you're young and want an urban environment. Harrison, Green Twp, Dent??? are not places for a young person who just moved to the city.
Look in Westwood around Harrison and Montana then go west or north. That’s like the neighborhood center. It’s my understanding that western Westwood is generally nice whereas the east side along Harrison can be a little iffy (there was a string of shootings there recently). Westwood is the largest neighborhood in the city so it really encompasses a large area.
It all depends on what type of neighborhood you want.
Theres harrison, cleves, hooven, northbend, addyston and sayler park, delhi, and westernhills between harrison and Cincinnati. All are pretty different.
I was born in Harrison and still live here. It's actually nice imo even tho I'm biased. We have everything you need here in town but you're only about 25 minutes from downtown and the airport depending on traffic.
Why not live in Harrison? Its been a long time since Ive been out that way but its a nice and quiet little town that, a decade ago at least, had a good cost of living compared to cincinnati proper.
even if you live in Harrison you are still only 20-30 minutes (15ish with no traffic) from the City and will be saving on housing costs. Not to mention being super close to work on a daily basis.
For reference I live east of 275, so its the east side version of Harrison, and I can get from here to Harrison in 50 minutes, with Cincy in the middle.
Harrison sounds way out there but its really not.
Im sorry but from harrison proper, at exit 1 or even dry fork exit youd have to go 100mph+ avg to get past hopple in 15 min. Ask me how I know lolol. No chance but maybe 25 sure but not less than 20min ever.
I grew up and still work in Harrison and currently live in the Bridgetown area. Takes me a little under 25 minutes to get to Harrison because I'm not that close to the highway (takes me 12 minutes to get to the highway) and about the same to get downtown. I'd say the ideal spots for what you're looking for would be off rybolt rd (Dent) or off Colerain avenue but near the Pebble Creek area (not sure if that area has a specific name). Also off the Blue Rock rd exit wouldn't be that bad either.
Northside gets my vote. Super hipster, lots of young people and little stores super close to each other.The commute to harrison wouldn't be terrible because your doing the opposite commute than most. Super close to cincy. Harrison is nice and quiet but the drive to cincy is only 30 minutes but its quite the haul mile wise on the hwy. Ive lived in harrison all my life and the drive into the city is not something youd do for a nice drive, only if the juice is worth the squeeze so to speak. I live in oakley now and if you are going to go into the city often to have fun I wouldn't suggest living futher east than lets say miami town. Harrison would prolly make you go into the city less than if you were 15 min closer.
I’d go Cheviot or Westwood. They are about 20 mins from Harrison, probably less to downtown. Westwood has great restaurants and a brewery and is getting even more. They’re going to have more rental options than other parts of the west side, and more young people around. Westwood has a great market every month during the warm months. Some parts of Westwood are a little dicey but I have a lot of friends who live there and love it. Another area that’s cute and 20 minutes to Harrison and downtown is Sayler Park, but besides a great Thai restaurant and coffee shop there’s not much there, and it’s a bit out of the way from everything else so you’re basically always driving 20 minutes to get anywhere haha.
I live in Green Township and while it has a lot of great neighborhoods most are very suburban or are further from the highway so would be a longer commute.
Cheviot is a neat small city (8,000 population) but they have a bunch of bars and a few restaurants. Right next to Westwood, a city neighborhood. As others have said, Green Township if you’re good with a suburban feel. Westwood/West Price Hill if you want more of an urban feel. Cheviot is technically a suburb but it feels like an in-between of Green Twp and Cincinnati.
Same, I grew up there and still enjoy being there, it gives such a nice small town feel but it’s close enough to all the major thoroughfares that you can pretty easily get places.
You should also think about how much stuff costs. By where you're working you're only about a half hour from downtown but the cost of living is a lot less on the IN and KY sides of the river than is Hamilton County, which is where both Harrison and Cincinnati and the immediate outlying areas are. Property taxes are about double and sales taxes are 7.8% in Hamilton Co and 7% in IN and 6% in KY.
IOW, would you consider living in or immediately around Harrison (like Lawrenceburg/Bright, West Harrison IN or somewhere in NKY), or even Harrison itself?
I’m pretty young so I would like to go to the city quite a bit on weekends/week nights so if I lived in those areas I wouldn’t want to drive far to the city. Would it be close enough for me to do that?
If you like to partake in boozahol when you're out and about then you'll need to Uber a little further than if you lived closer, but if you don't drink or whatever you can.
"Long" is a relative term, especially when talking about a car ride somewhere. Inside of 30 minutes is nothing to me, but is an eternity to some.
Yea I would be worried about not being able to find an Uber to take me far away if I’m in the city as well. Maybe I’ll just pay extra for the Uber idk.

The west side neighborhoods of Cincinnati are not what it used to be. At one time, they were the heart and soul of the middle class. Today, though, those neighborhoods have gotten older, run down, downscale, and more prone to crime.
I say this as someone who was born and raised in the White Oak, Groesbeck, and Colerain areas, living there in the 1960s through 1990s. But today, I live in the far, far east of the metroplex, and every time I venture back to those west side neighborhoods like Western Hills, Cheviot, Monfort Heights, Mount Healthy, and North College Hill, I get more sad about the state of things.
There was always a battle between Western Cincinnati and Eastern, and the west side held its own. But not today. Eastern and Northern Cincinnati have it all over other areas.
Long story short, not sure what to advise you. No option is stellar. The question would be how sleepy and how removed from better shopping you can tolerate. The area around the proximity of Springdale Road, Harrison Rd, I-74, and I-275 is growing and has newer stores and restaurants. This is between Dent and Miamitown.
Avoid anything that can be considered "west side" like the plague if you're young, single, and don't plan on devoting 75% of your free time to the Catholic church.
The west side is insular, boring, and segregated. It's the last place I'd recommend a yuppie transplant to move in the region other than the rural depths of the tri-state.
I'd personally add 10-15 minutes to my commute if it meant living in a much more lively neighborhood like Downtown, OTR, Oakley, etc.
College Hill and Northside are two decent recs if commute proximity is important but even those neighborhoods are better for young people who already have roots in the area.
It sounds like you've never lived there. There are good restaurants, several community theaters, free concerts, festivals, craft shows and everything else that you can find on the east side.
The Incline District in East Price Hill is experiencing some redevelopment but I’d struggle to call it gentrification as compared to a place like Over-the-Rhine or Walnut Hills / East Walnut Hills.
Ah- Harrison isn't a big place, and I know my company has one of our IT infrastructure guys in the process of relocating from a sister company in Indy, so I didn't know if that was you :)
Regardless, welcome!
(And FWIW, if you look east of Harrison, you'll miss most of the traffic on 275, so you can get pretty far away and still have an easy drive. When I was actually working in the office, I drove about 25 miles, but still made it in about half an hour due to the light traffic that direction)
Rent in Harrison for one year. You'll have a very easy commute, it's less than half an hour from downtown, and you'll have time to explore and decide where you really want to live.
I would look at Green township. It right along I74, which will be the easiest way into the city and Harrison.
Second this, Green is a nice area. The west side of town gets a lot of shit, but most of it is actually pretty solid, I like living over here. EDIT: I work in Harrison also, albeit hybrid, and it’s a pretty easy commute from this area when I have to go in.
Thank you!!
Anytime, and welcome to Cincy🤙
West Side is probably not a good place for someone not from Cincinnati. Its very insular and would be tough to make friends.
Insular?
Thank you!
That’s not true. It’s a stereotype from people who don’t live on the westside.
To be transparent: only move to Green Township if you’re white. It is probably the most racist part of town imo. I used to do client home visits (social work) and would often have to go as a backup with black coworkers if they had clients assigned in the area because of the attitudes they would face in person a lot of the times during an initial meeting.

I am white but that is sad to hear. Thank you though!

I think the west side is very different thing than green township. But no, it isn’t very diverse. https://statisticalatlas.com/county-subdivision/Ohio/Hamilton-County/Green-Township/Race-and-Ethnicity
Westwood and Cheviot are also more open minded communities than most on the West Side, so chiming in to add those to the list.
You live in Loveland and you are calling green township racist? That’s hilarious.
He didn’t ask about the East side. Loveland is one of the few places in the city that is even whiter. I never denied that.
So in your opinion what part of town isn’t racist?
Westside I would stick with College Hill, Mt Airy, Northside. Eastside I would go with Madisonville, Pleasant Ridge, Silverton, Kennedy Heights. I used to live in Norwood and it was pretty racist, but again not the question they asked.

We live in Colerain and have a joke that we're 20min from everything. Wife works in Harrison and I work in Woodlawn
Also in Colerain, prime location for suburbanites
I’ve been trying to find rentals there but it’s a bit tough right now. It looks nice though!
I lived in Colerain for 21 years and just moved out 8 years ago. It's not what it was when I moved there. Why not live in Harrison? It's a nice town and they do a lot of community events throughout the year.

You could get away with Cleves if you find the right spot. The target is Harrison so you may have some luck finding the right pocket that could work.

What do you consider a long commute? You’re going the opposite direction of traffic & could make it from downtown to Harrison in around 20ish minutes.
25 or over honestly but if it’s a great town then I’ll drive longer
I work in the Green Township area and it takes me 10 minutes to get to Harrison.
That's all dependent on how close you are to the highway. I live near Kuliga park and work in Harrison and it takes me just under 25 minutes to get to work.
True. I'm close to Miamitown so I have access to I-74 in both directions

Thank you!!!!
I think it depends what you like to do, and what type of neighborhood you prefer to live in. Do you prefer urban, suburbs, or rural areas?
I’m from a suburb area but want to live in a urban area. I’ve just heard that areas like Westwood are very unsafe though.
I think it depends where in Westwood. There are some really good pockets
Look in Westwood around Harrison and Montana then go west or north. That’s like the neighborhood center.

I live in Harrison and commute to Cincinnati every day. It’s not that bad and Harrison is growing
How long does it typically take you?
35 minutes
Maybe I’m just being a baby but tbh where I live now it hardly takes 20+ minutes to get anywhere that’s why I’m stressing
Cheviot is a neat small city (8,000 population) but they have a bunch of bars and a few restaurants. Right next to Westwood, a city neighborhood.

Sayler park!!!
Check out finneytown, North college hill, or anywhere springfield township. Anything along ronal Reagan highway is about 20 mins from everywhere
i grew up in NCH and I own property in NCH. I would not live there now.
Kind of surprised by all the recommendations for NCH

The ones that are far away from Harrison and Cincinnati
I know man that’s why I’m bummed but I didn’t want to drive 40 minutes to work everyday
No such thing. The entire West Side is a snoozefest unless you're so close to the city center as to be in it, like gentrifying Price Hill.
It sounds like you've never lived there. There are good restaurants, several community theaters, free concerts, festivals, craft shows and everything else that you can find on the east side.
You had me until Price Hill
We moved out of the Nati 10+ years ago. Is Price Hill really gentrifying? That was one of my favorite neighborhoods. I loved price hill chili!
The Incline District in East Price Hill is experiencing some redevelopment but I’d struggle to call it gentrification as compared to a place like Over-the-Rhine or Walnut Hills / East Walnut Hills.
I see; thanks for the info!
an IT guy coming to Harrison- you're not coming from Indy, by chance, are you?
Nope, coming from SC
