Cincinnati is easy to get lost in, but easy enough to find your bearings as well. There is one giant interstate, I-275, that stretches around the city, dipping into Indiana and Kentucky, and if you wanted, you could drive around that circle interminably, stopping, of course for bathroom breaks, food and lodging. In the middle of that giant circle are two interstates, I-75 and I-71, and so if you have a modest sense of where you are, the interstates are helpful to help you find your way back home. In Clifton you will find amazing apartments at rentclifton.com. Their apartments are close to the University of Cincinnati in Clifton.

Of course, if you were unfamiliar with the city and without a map or GPS system, even with the knowledge of the Interstate system, you could still find yourself lost for hours. But it would be a pleasant drive. Cincinnati is a hilly city with seven major hills that have all become communities and towns within Cincinnati: Mt. Adams, Walnut Hills, Mt. Auburn, College Hill, Mt. Harrison (aka Price Hill), Vine Street Hill and Fairmount (aka Fairmont). Then, just to make things more confusing, there are other hilltop communities, including Vine Street Hill, Mount Echo, Clifton Heights and Mount Storm.

Driving around, the hills eventually become just part of the landscape. You probably won't even notice them, but joggers and bicyclists understand this terrain well: It's not for the faint of foot or heart.
