Characteristics

Transportation

Traveling as a pedestrian is rather practical for property owners in Covington; many common errands can be run without a vehicle, and a fair number of businesses of different types can be found as well. However, it is occasionally challenging to get around by bicycle in this city as the cycling infrastructure is somewhat poor, and cyclists encounter a considerable amount of hills. This city is not very transit friendly. Thankfully, homeowners benefit from over 50 bus lines, and bus stops are not very far-removed from most residences. In contrast, the preferred method to navigate Covington is often driving. It is a rather short drive to the nearest highway, such as I-275, from any home in this city, and it is convenient to find a place to park.

Services

Primary schools are straightforward to access without a car from most properties for sale in Covington. However, there are only a few high schools and thus they can be an extended trip away. Locals have the option of public and private schools at both the elementary and secondary school level. With respect to food, a grocery store is typically reachable within a very short distance from most homes for sale in Covington. Additionally, this city is a good place in which to go out to eat, for example on Main Street, and there are also about 40 coffee shops in Covington.

Character

Covington is a great part of the Cincinnati metropolitan area for those who enjoy both indoor and outdoor activities. Although the ambience is not the most lively in this city, the vibe can still be quite lively around its main streets, and finding one of the over 100 nightlife venues is very easy because they are generally located very close by.

Smale Riverfront Park, which results in them being easy to access from most locations within Covington.
