CVG is what it is: a conservative, semi-closed minded, Bengals loving, Skyline obsessing, Frisch's munching, Graeter's eating, Kroger shopping folks.
If you move to one of the older neighborhoods like Hyde Park, Mt. Lookout, Pleasant Ridge, Oakley, Kenwood, Indian Hill (I am an eastsider... I cannot even name a neighborhood on the West Side or in Kentucky) you are going to run into a lot of the "where did you go to high school - I've lived here all my life - what family are you from" mentality.
If you move to the newer neighborhoods, like West Chester or Lakota (even some of the places in Kentucky that are newer), you will meet more people who have transplanted into the community.
Any place you move is pretty much what you make of it. If you get out, join a group, join a church, get involved in something you will meet more people. If you sit around in your apartment/house and wait for the locals to come to you, well, you will get nothing. This is especially true if you are single.
It's hard for all of us in aviation to meet anybody given the weird hours we keep. Most professionals are not off on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday! As such, we tend to only meet folks from work and that becomes our social life. I have had people in CVG tell me that Comair/Delta people are snobs. They don't come to block parties, they never invite us over, blah, blah, blah. This was before I worked in the industry. After seven years of being in the business... I see why. We are not snobs, we are just busy and work weird hours and are not around when everybody else is.
Give CVG a chance. Call the Chamber of Commerce and get their movers guide. It will help you find where you want to go.
