Life in the Queen City
Nestled among the gently rolling hills of the Ohio River Valley, Cincinnati combines old world charm with first-class, 21st century living. Home to 10 Fortune 500 companies, Cincinnati is a big city with a small town feel.
As a major midwestern city, Cincinnati boasts of two professional sports teams, some of the top museums in the nation, and a thriving performing arts community. As a southern small town, Cincinnati is also home to one of the most affordable standards of living in the United States. It has been recognized as a great place to raise a family, and Cincinnati prides itself on the multiple festivals and events that bring people together along the riverfront and in the suburbs.
Sports of All Sorts
Cincinnati is proud to call two professional sports teams their own: the Cincinnati Bengals and the Cincinnati Reds, the first professional baseball team. In addition, the region is a haven for collegiate basketball fans, with University of Cincinnati, Xavier, Ohio State, University of Kentucky, and Indiana University all within the area.
