What it’s like
The place. Northgate is a community in Hamilton County, in the Cincinnati area, where most homes are lived in by their owners. Household incomes run a little above the county's, and the typical home costs more than many renters here would likely want to take on. Winters are cold and summers are warm, with rain and melted snow spread through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, and in shops, with others in transport and warehouses or in banks, insurance and property. Among the largest workplaces in Northgate are Kroger, Meijer and Foundation Health Solution. Fewer adults hold a four-year degree than in many places, and a good number of people work from home.
Things to do. The Cincinnati Zoo and Botanical Garden is a short drive away, as is Mount Airy Forest, a protected area of woodland. Spring Grove Cemetery, also a short drive off, is known for its botanical garden grounds. For a bigger day out, Kings Island, an amusement park, is a longer drive away.
