What it’s like
The place. Montgomery is a city in Hamilton County where nearly everyone owns the home they live in, and there are far fewer renters than across the county. Household incomes run well above the county's, and very few residents live below the poverty line. Most adults hold a four-year degree, and the typical resident is somewhat older than in much of the country. Winters are cold, with January the coldest month and highs staying just above freezing, while summers turn warm and July is the hottest month.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, in professional and business services, in manufacturing, and in restaurants, hotels and entertainment. Among the largest workplaces in Montgomery are Bethesda Hospital, Life Enriching Communities- Twin Lakes, and the Kroger Cincinnati-Dayton grocery operation. Hamilton County's unemployment rate is lower than a year ago, though the county has a few fewer jobs than it did the year before. The typical commute is a fairly short one, and a good number of residents work from home.
Things to do. Kings Island, an amusement park, is a short drive away, and so are its well-known roller coasters, including The Beast, Banshee and Son of Beast. A longer drive brings you to the Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden and to the Cincinnati Art Museum. Those who like to watch sport can reach Great American Ball Park, a stadium, by the same longer drive.
