![]() ![]() Either at the burnet woods park, or on south ludlow itself. It seems that there is something always happening on the weekends here. It is a college town, with shops everywhere, so everything is always more expensive. Where I love, a studio costs 545, where if you live in Northside, it could be 100-200 dollars cheaper (depending on how scummy the apartment/landlord is). There are many pro's and cons, just like anywhere else.Ĭon) This place can be a little expensive. ![]() We are also a young couple/family living in a studio apartment here. Hey, I live in clifton, on middleton ave/south ludlow. I hope this helps! I love the Gaslight district and if you have anymore questions please let me know and I'll try and do my best to answer them. As far as getting downtown you can pretty much ride Jefferson straight into the business district which is fairly light on traffic. Traffic/Commute - getting across uptown can be kind of time consuming so be weary of this, this is mostly getting to 71/471 access points. Enjoy getting some Mexican at Habaneros or catching a show at the Esquire! Maybe one day they will open that IGA, which would be great. Walking to the business district - you are not deluding yourself at all! this is a great area and you will see many people doing the same. Living on street with renters - you may have issues with parking, but personally while living on ludlow using strictly street parking I never had any issues finding anything. Streets in winter - I never had an issue, this is a college campus so they are pretty good about keeping streets clearįlooding - you are on a hill, so as long as you have proper plumbing and drainage you should be fine. If your guest are staying for a few hours, most likely you should be fine.if they stay overnight maybe let them know to not leave their iPhone sitting on their passenger seat or something. The key here is to be sure you leave nothing in plain sight, this includes change. Sirens - you will hear sirens anywhere in the city, you tend to get used to it and oddly enough you will miss it once you move back out of the city.ĭog run - I would say Mt Storm is more suited to this, more open spaces.Burnet woods is good too but I would use a leash.Ĭar break-ins - If you are in the city your cars are at risk for break-ins regardless of where you are. The least desirable streets - I would say as long as you stay north of Ludlow and closer towards the medical campus than towards Cincinnati State. I can provide some insight on your points: I lived on Ludlow (right near the entrance to Burnet Woods) for a couple years. But I know moving more toward the city probably means giving up my little Narnia.Īnother question: Is using a taxi or Uber common for getting around to/from/within the Clifton area? Thought of one more question: Will I see any deer roaming the neighborhood? Where I live now, it's wooded behind our patio, and it's kinda magical to see deer munching and wandering from time to time. Thanks in advance for any/all insights!Įdit: THANK YOU GUYS for all the great info! This is so helpful. I'm sure I could come up with more, but this seems like plenty for now. How is traffic/commuting, primarily to downtown? What happens if our future kids don't get into Fairview? What's the next best option? (I'd prefer public schools, and carpooling/bussing is OK, but I'm open to other ideas too.) But also practical stuff like CVS and Ace Hardware, dinner at Ambar and La Poste, and maybe me working from the library or Sitwell's on occasion.) Will we actually do this, or are we deluding ourselves? We have this picture of ourselves walking to the Ludlow business district all the time. Is living on a street with lots of rental properties problematic, or a non-issue? Is there any talk of Duke burying the power lines at some point in the future? Is flooding an issue? (I'm guessing not, but I'm paranoid because my childhood home has flooded more than once and it's such a pain.) If friends come over for dinner and park on the streets, will their cars be at risk for break-ins? (Or is that primarily in CUF?) Is there a dog run anywhere close by? (Maybe in Mt. If we ended up south of Ludlow (like on Howell or Terrace) would we be listening to hospital/emergency sirens all the time? What would you say are the most and least desirable streets? I would love to know any/all pros and cons that you guys can think of.īut I will also ask a few specific questions to help get the ball rolling. So, current and recent citizens of Gaslight Clifton, may I pick your brains about living there as a couple or young family in a single family home? My husband and I are strongly considering buying a house in this neighborhood. But (1) a lot of it is outdated, and (2) a lot of it is geared toward renters. Hey peeps, I've searched for - and read - everything about Gaslight Clifton in this subreddit's history. ![]()
