Looking at moving to Cincy's west side and need help!

The first one, in Westwood, is actually right on the edge of the city limits. The City of Cheviot is just around the corner from that location...I personally think this is the best area of the large neighborhood of Westwood. You have some great churches nearby, community center, stores, a cluster of bars and a couple of parks.

I'm not too familiar with the second one in Mt. Healthy...so I won't comment.

Finally the last you have, off of Colerain a bit, isn't all that bad of a location. If I had to make a judgment I would say that this location will probably be very similar to the second one you listed (in Mt. Healthy).

I'd go with the one in Westwood...you've got some great neighborhood amenities, and very quick/easy access to downtown via Harrison Ave/Western Hills Viaduct, Montana/I-74, Montana/Westwood Northern Blvd/Hopple St Viaduct. I often times take these routes during rush hour to avoid any congestion on the highways...and they are equally as quick.

I lived in a very nice townhouse off of Montana Avenue in Westwood. I even lived in a nice apartment off of Cheviot Road near Colerain High School. I would pass on the Mt. Healthy area. The best place I lived and stayed the most time at though was in the Anderson Township/Forest Hills area. Very nice area and not far from downtown.

Thanks all! I will definitely look at the apts in Westwood.

A good friend of mine lives off of Hazelwood. Very quiet, friendly neighborhood.

I'm sure it's clear. I've driven over there to go to a wedding at a chuch in Westwood. It's like going into Baghdad.

It depends on where you are in Westwood. Most of the area is absolutely gorgeous, especially closest to Cheviot and the Westwood Town Hall.

But the thing about Cincinnati is that you can walk 5 minutes in any direction and be in a completely different area than you came from. You can't say "neighborhood X is trash," because not all of it is.

Evidently it isn't so clear since people seem to be doubting/questioning you on it. I also think its a bit sensational to compare any place in Cincinnati, or the United States for that matter, to Baghdad.

That is ridiculous!
