2024 Best Cincinnati Area Suburbs to Live (2024)

  1. #1 Best Suburbs to Live in Cincinnati AreaBlue AshSuburb of Cincinnati, OH•Rating 4.34 out of 5 41 reviewsCurrent Resident: I have called Blue Ash home going on 20 years. After my divorce, I kept the house (which we are currently living in) because it's in BA. I wanted my son to stay in Sycamore schools. Plus, we love the Rec Center and what they are doing at Summit Park and now "downtown." When we moved in, we'd have the cute airplanes flying over our house, but I much prefer all that Summit now has to offer. I can't tell you how many times one of my stepkids or my son has left our house unlocked or left the garage door open, and we've never had so much as a package go missing. I feel very safe everywhere I go in BA. We are lucky to have some great establishments as well - I'm at Pipkin's and Park Pour all the time and have many friends at 49 Hundred. Plus, we have some nice free services like the leaf pick-up, the medicine giveback at the police station, etc. And boy, they do a fabulous job of clearing the streets! Overall, we love Blue Ash - I am so glad I got to raise my son here. <3...

  3. #3 Best Suburbs to Live in Cincinnati AreaMasonSuburb of Cincinnati, OH•Rating 4.25 out of 5 188 reviewsCurrent Resident: I moved to Mason, Ohio from Baltimore, Maryland in the 8th grade. Overall Mason is the nicest place I have ever lived and I strongly believe that it is one of the best places to grow up in the USA. When I lived in Baltimore the area was dangerous and you could't leave the house without the fear of others. In Mason I leave the house by myself almost every day. The school is ranked nationally for both academics and athletics and the community is just overall amazing. I was given the chance to make friends with so many people of all races and beliefs due to the amazing level of diversity at this school. I truly believe that Mason prepared me for both college and the rest of life. I honestly cannot think of any changes to be made. There are opportunities all over for volunteering and work to people of all ages. I love it here....

After a house fire on the block, neighbors checked on us to make sure we were okay.

  13. #14 Best Suburbs to Live in Cincinnati AreaWilderSuburb in Kentucky•Rating 3.86 out of 5 7 reviewsCurrent Resident: Wilder is an upscale suburban neighborhood with a reputation for safety and proximity to stores, universities, parks, and restaurants. The houses are large and comfortable, if expensive, and in the summer, the air often smells of honeysuckles. Although Wilder is not as rural as I would prefer, a wooded creek at the bottom of a hill makes for a good escape from the noise and lights. If I could change one thing about Wilder, I would change the inhabitants’ tolerance of pets. Although some neighbors are unusually friendly and have even invited my family to use their pool, others have called the police because our dogs, which were inside an electric fence and causing no harm, were barking. We have also had multiple complaints concerning our outdoor cat, who is the best behaved cat I have ever met. Overall, Wilder is an excellent neighborhood for someone wanting a short commute and an elegant home....
