really quickly i have to say that west chester, mason, anderson, etc. are not cincinnati, they are the distant suburbs. they are fine places but you are really selling yourself short if you move to cincinnati and don't look at the neighborhoods. the neighborhoods make cincinnati cincinnati and not anywhere, USA

It is quite a stretch to call an unincorporated area like Anderson Township that borders the city "a distant suburb."

Depends on how you look at it. Technically, Mt. Auburn and Clifton are suburbs.

what i know is that when i lived in cincinnati (norwood for a while, walnut hills for a while), and i had to go to that area, i would be in my car for a long time and go under over or on the outerbelt. it seemed a world away from the cincinnati that i knew. i don't doubt that anderson township is a nice place and i know there are amenities, but it is a very different place than the city or its inner ring suburbs. that said, cincinnati is an sprawling metropolitan area of well over a million people, and what it means to live in cincinnati means different things to different people

Is there a neighborhood in Cincinnati similar to Broad Ripple in Indianapolis or Wicker Park in Chicago? In other words, a safe, urban, multicultural, eclectic neighborhood with lots of young urban professionals, academics, artists and such?

Cincinnati does not really have any ethnic neighborhoods other than African American neighborhoods. When my relatives lived in Chicago's Humboldt Park, adjacent to Wicker Park, in the 60's, Humboldt had lots of elderly Polish residents and many Hispanics. I spent a Summer in Humboldt Park in 1961 with my aunt and uncle and the Puerto Rican gangs dominated Wicker PArk from my recollection. I assume that there is still a very substantial Puerto Rican population there. We have nothing like that in Cincinnati.

I can make it from Anderson Township to Norwood in under 18 minutes. It is hardly that far of a drive or enough to call it a distant suburb. In fact, how do you call it an "outer ring suburb" when its western border is the Cincinnati city limits?

I think that it is really peculiar how people want to define what is "real' Cincinnati as opposed to not Cincinnati. It sounds much like the people in St. Louis and Detroit metros who are adamant that they don't live in those cities.

Eh I tend to agree that Anderson Township is out there. I dread having to drive out that way along Beechmont. 18 minutes must be the record...

I have a question, if Anderson is a "distant suburb" and not a part of Cincinnati, then why do we have a Cincinnati mailing address? I just moved here, I really don't know the answer to this.If someone could answer this I'd really appreciate it. Also, my DH drives downtown everyday and it usually takes him 25 min tops...not taking 275. I think Anderson is the perfect in between location between downtown and Northern areas (Ikea, Costco, areas). (15-25 minutes either way.) JMO.
