"Oakley is by far the top community in Cincinnati. It’s a great mix of friendly professional’s, young families, singles as well as empty nesters. Everyone looks out for each other and people that move here from out of state have told me that they felt welcomed and at home within a very short period of time. Most end up staying for a lifetime! The homeowners take great care of their property with beautiful landscaping. The Wasson Way Trail is perfect for walking with dogs and friends, pushing a stroller, and bicycling. There are so many great local restaurants and bars that are dog friendly. The location is the best with hospitals, UC, Xavier University, OTR and downtown just minutes away, with quick and easy access to I-71. Everything you need can be found right within beautiful and walkable Oakley! "

"Things like party in the park at Washington Park. We also have a blink which is a huge light and art festival. Cincinnati actually has a lot of really cool things to do."

"If I were a dog owner, I’d hate all the hills, the car congestion, the noise pollution, and the fact there’s no dog parks. "

"There are a good number of other dog walkers here. Depending on where you are in the neighborhood there may be pretty nice sidewalks and safety from cars thanks to cars parked on the side of the road."

"It has good shopping, food and amenities for a small area. I enjoy living here, but it’s expensive for one person. Only 15 minutes to downtown and the neighborhood is super dog-friendly. "
