Bad neighborhood. Enough said.

There might be people who look different than you there, you're right. Don't buy that house.

On that note, Covington/Cinci have endless character in comparison to C-bus, but C-bus is obviously the larger municipality with the better economy.

With all due respect, that's just as bad a neighborhood whether you're white, black, green, purple, or have little Martian stalks growing out of your head. Property values look really cheap, and there's a reason. The crime is equal-opportunity.

Just curious, are you familiar with the area, or just making an assumption about me?

I actually know that very street. It's not as bad as you make it out to be. There are more "hood" places in Andover Forest.

I guess beyond a kind of vaguely racial reference, I don't really know what "hood places" means. I can only say there are other places I'd look for a home in that general part of town, in terms of personal safety and stability of property values. If the OP is still reading and would like to message me, I'll be happy to share what I know that might be helpful. FTR, I'm not in the real estate business or anything. Just happened to notice the thread on this forum because of the question I asked in another thread.

Actually, the Cincinnati metropolitan area is larger than the Columbus metro area (although you are correct if referring just to the city propers - however that is a meaningless comparison)... roughly 2.3 million to 1.7/1.8 million...

Also, how "obvious" is it that C-Bus has a better economy than the Cincinnati region? Cite some statistics to back up your pronouncement.

But really, Columbus has a more diverse economy.

Cincinnati isn't bad, it's just not as good as Columbus.

Also, yes, I was referencing city proper, which I feel has a LOT to do with everything.

On that note, I'd rather live in the city of Cincinnati.

Please tell me all relevant relocation info for Columbus Ky. I am interested in moving there because of the affordable housing in country setting. I'm originally from Central America and have lived upstate New York for a number of years. What is the catch for such affordable housing?

[Crazee Cat Lady]

To find the relevant relocation info for Columbus you should look into the Columbus, Ohio thread.
Columbus is in Ohio.

But affordable housing abounds in many parts of Kentucky also. I am not so sure there is a catch for why housing is more affordable in one area of the country as opposed to another - some areas are just more costly to live in than others. It is often (not always) more affordable to live in a country setting rather than in an urban setting, different regions have differences also....A realtor or real estate agent can probably answer your question better than I ever could though.

Thank you so much for visiting the Kentucky thread though, and "Welcome to Kentucky" if you decide to visit or move here.
