Covington Overview

Located in the proud confines of Kenton County, Covington is a blue collar city in Kentucky that acts as home to around 40,000 residents. Boasting views of both the Ohio and Licking Rivers, this fifth most-populated city in the state is a welcoming locale brimming with charm and possibility.

What is the history of Covington?

Tobacco and cigar production lead the local economy throughout much of the mid 1800s, with distilleries and manufacturing of stoves a close second. Indeed, by the turn of the century Covington laid claim to being the second-largest industrial region in the state, and the addition of steamboat service in the early 1900s only increased local production. Despite some economic hardships over the 1940s and beyond, the city has undergone some revitalization of late, with numerous Covington rentals coming on the market in recent years.

How is the weather in Covington?

Prone to hot, often humid summers and cool winters, Covington apartment residents can anticipate plenty of rainfall in the spring and occasional snow. Still, autumns are fairly spectacular in their leaf colorings, and are highlighted by crisp, pleasant evening temperatures.

How do I get around town?

Most living in Covington apartments rely on a private car or truck for getting around on the day to day, although the TANK Bus Service offers transport at several stops in the city. The Northern Kentucky Airport is a fairly large base of operations for air travel, and located just a short drive from many downtown Covington rentals. Taxis and ride sharing options such as Uber are also found with ease.

What is the Covington commute like?

Interstates 71 and 471 both head north-south through the city, offering easy access to the job market of Cincinnati and beyond. More rural routes such as 17 and 8 also zig-zag the city limits, and on most days traffic moves at a relatively brisk pace in and around Covington. 

What are the local media outlets?

The aptly-named 'River City News' is a major outlet of print media in the city, and radio is a mix of modern R&B, classic rock, and current country favorites for the most part. Talk formats are also in high supply for sports and news fans, and Covington rentals offer a multitude of broadcast television options thanks to Kentucky and Ohio affilaites.

Why live in Covington, KY?

With scenic natural beauty to spare and plenty of amenities usually only seen in larger cities, Covington apartments for rent make an excellent option for anyone in the market for a new home in the great state of Kentucky. From impressive local schools to popular area eateries, this on-the-move working class hot spot is a great destination in which to raise a family or enjoy retirement.

What Covington landmarks should I see?

George Rogers Clark Park offers spectacular water views and plenty of relaxing places to stroll and sit for a spell, while the popular Roebling Bridge Murals are a must-see for any art enthusiast. Covington is also home to an impressive array of historic churches, ranging from the architectural glory of the Cathedral Basilica to the Mother of God Parish. The Veteran's Monument is also a quiet spot reserved for solemn reflection.

What is there to do around Covington?

Hit the nearby Railway Museum on a rainy afternoon, or get oceanic with a visit to the Newport Aquarium, both just a short drive from many Covington apartments for rent. The Krohn Conservatory boasts an indoor butterfly display as well as a gorgeous series of botanical gardens, and no visit is complete without a tasty cheesburger with the locals at Otto's.

Any annual festivals or Covington events to know?

The Paradise Music Festival takes over town every summer, bringing large crowds and plenty of tunes, while the Good People Festival helpsliven up July with crafts and homemade culinary delights.

Where are the nearby vacation spots?

Head just over the bridge and spend a weekend exploring the nightclubs and antique shops of Cincinnati, or get truly adventurous with a tour of Ohio's extensive roller coaster scene, all just a short drive from numerous rentals in Covington. Lexington is an ideal place to visit for college scene ambiance and plenty of sporting events, with Louisville's distilleries and horse racing always an exciting road trip as well. 

Where is the best place to move in Covington?

From economic 2-bedroom units close to area schools and shopping centers to luxurious spreads offering spectacular water views and all the onsite amenities one can dream of, Covington apartments for rent are available to meet a wide-reaching array of lifestyles and budgets. So why wait another moment? Start your hunt for the next great Kentucky apartment in your life, and see what Covington retnals have in store for you! Good luck with your search!
