About Cincinnati


Longfellow called Cincinnati the “Queen City of the West.”  Winston Churchill called it “America’s most beautiful inland city.” Today, Cincinnati continues to offer the resources of a major city - strong businesses, major league sports, world-class arts.  It also has the advantages of a small town - green hills, distinctive neighborhoods, low cost of living, a compact downtown and friendly people.  As a livable city, Cincinnati is ranked 11th - the top 3% of metro areas - in the Special Millennium Edition of Places Rated Almanac. Fortune magazine ranks Cincinnati in the top 10 as a great place to live and work.
