Should I move to Chillicothe or stay in Cincinnati?
Hey, You can expect to pay around $842 for rent here. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. Downtown has improved a lot in recent years. The weather takes some getting used to. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much. The school system varies a lot by neighborhood. Night life is decent if you know the right spots.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a physical therapist who relocated here from Minneapolis about 15 years ago. The main reasons were school and school.
Pros I've experienced:
- Low crime in most neighborhoods
- Strong job market in several industries
- Close to major attractions
Cons that are real:
- Traffic during rush hour is rough
- Nightlife is limited
Financially, we've found it decent compared to where we came from. Lots of new construction which should help. Groceries are wild, gas is average.
Socially, there are trade-offs but the good outweighs the bad. Hope this helps!.

Great question. I'll try to be comprehensive here.
I'm a electrician who relocated here from Austin about 7 years ago. The main reasons were my partner's job and school.
Pros I've experienced:
- Friendly community, easy to meet people
- Lots of new development happening
- Strong sense of community
Cons that are real:
- Urban sprawl is real
- Bugs and humidity in summer
Financially, we've found it challenging compared to where we came from. Older homes are where the value is. Groceries are reasonable, gas is decent.
Socially, it's not perfect but it works for me. No regrets on my end..
