Bathing in sunshine reflected by contemporary skyscrapers and the sparkling Ohio River, downtown is the hub of the city. Home to Fortune 500 companies, cultural venues, professional sports teams, hundreds of shops, and dining establishments, downtown is where the action is.

For those who reside downtown, a rich array of architecture, athletics, food and festivals is within a comfortable stroll via the city's sidewalks and skywalks. The number and diversity of housing units in this neighborhood is continuously expanding as new high-rise condominiums appear on the riverfront and older homes in the historic district are refurbished.

Fountain Square is the heart of downtown, bustling with shops, restaurants and the workers from surrounding office towers. Originally used as an outdoor butcher shop, today, the scent of grilling sausage still wafts through the air as midday sun worshippers enjoy their lunches. Summer concerts, book sales, festivals and events are free to the public, packing the square with both residents and visitors.

Approximately 4,000 people live within the 0.8 square mile of downtown. These residents are predominantly single, young couples or empty nesters.
