Rich history and vibrant character define this Cincinnati suburb

Historic Suburb Commuter Architecture Affordable Upscale River Parks Airport

Covington is a vibrant suburban city located directly across the Ohio River from Cincinnati. The north side of the city is well known for its stunning historic architecture, from the numerous magnificent churches to the iconic John A. Roebling Suspension Bridge (connecting Covington with Cincinnati) to the brick townhomes of the Mutter Gottes Historic District. Farther south, things spread out considerably as the urban layout begins to blend into the surrounding countryside.

The local rental market is huge and diverse, ranging from upscale historic homes and swanky downtown condos to sensible suburban homes to budget-friendly efficiency apartments. The variety of housing options combined with the easy access to Cincinnati has bade Covington a longtime favorite for commuters, and frequent travelers will love the close proximity to Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.
