Straight Answers
Working in Cincinnati, answered
Who are the largest employers in the Cincinnati area?
Cincinnati's economy is anchored by major corporate headquarters — Procter & Gamble, Kroger, and Fifth Third Bank all sit downtown — plus GE Aerospace in the northern suburbs, the region's big hospital systems, and the logistics cluster around CVG airport across the river. The directory above lists the majors by industry as they're added.
Which neighborhoods are best for commuting to downtown Cincinnati?
Over-the-Rhine (about 4 minutes), Mt. Adams (6), Walnut Hills (8), and Clifton (11) keep the drive shortest, with Covington just across the river at about 12. Hyde Park and Oakley run 12-14 minutes; the top-school suburbs like Mason and West Chester trade that for a 33-37 minute drive.
Is Cincinnati a good market for two-career households?
Yes, with one planning step: the major employment centers (downtown, the I-71 and I-75 corridors, and CVG across the river) are spread out enough that the right neighborhood depends on both commutes. Central-ish areas like Over-the-Rhine and Clifton keep downtown close and CVG reasonable — run the Commute Finder once per destination and compare.
What if my employer isn't in the directory yet?
The directory grows as employers are added for this market. In the meantime, use the Commute Finder to test drive times from the neighborhoods you're considering — or tell Chris where you'll be working and he'll shortlist the areas that make the commute easy.
