Residents can walk to and from work or shopping in downtown Cincinnati and then marvel at its skyline when back on their balconies or porches. Wonderfully restored rowhouses and brownstones mix with graceful Victorian homes in Covington. Street after street of many sections offer one architectural delight after another.

Floating restaurants and entertainment spots, and excursion boat docks line the Ohio River banks.

It includes Covington Landing and a floating entertainment complexe.
