City of Southgate

Looking for a great area to live? The City of Southgate is located just five minutes south from Downtown Cincinnati. It boasts that small town feel with the conveniences of living close to the city.
Most of the houses in Southgate were built during the 1950s, and it is easy to find some still equipped with vintage appliances and pastel colored tile bathrooms. The houses are close together, but in a way that boasts the «Wonder Years» sort of charm. Kids ride bicycles down the street. Neighbors talk to each other and are eager to lend a hand. Little girls still wear mismatched socks and camp tee shirts, rather than looking like Miley Cyrus. You can even find city council rolling up their sleeves and partaking in community projects.
Having attended many of their city council meetings, the city itself is one of the best governed in Northern Kentucky. Councilmembers genuinely care about the upkeep of the city and love being involved with the community. Southgate has Memorial Day parades, dinners with the Fire Department, and a well-​organized community yard sale that benefits charity, plus many other activities throughout the year.
Home to the Southgate Community Center, the city utilizes this gorgeous building for cookouts, including National Night Out, which honors the city’s first responders. The event allows citizens to look inside emergency vehicles and see tools used by the professionals. Southgate is also known as a National Arbor City, for its continuous work in planting new trees in public areas.
Whether a resident or a visitor, Southgate is a great place to be!
