A family-friendly suburban community with nearby industrial job opportunities
Just 10 miles south of Downtown Cincinnati at the junction of Interstate 275 and 71, Erlanger is a suburban oasis for many who work in the industrial sector nearby, which includes warehouses for companies like Coca-Cola and Amazon. On their way to work at one of the warehouses, locals drop their children off at one of the well-respected schools within Erlanger-Elsmere Independent Schools. On the weekend, there’s no shortage of things to do, whether locals want to relax at one of the dynamic parks or grab a bite at one of the popular restaurants. Erlanger also has a section of events throughout the year that unite the community. “There’s a lot of things to do for families,” says Stacy Meece, a Realtor with KW Commercial. With this in mind, it’s no wonder some residents have chosen to live their entire lives in Erlanger. “There are senior citizen residents that have lived their whole lives here,” Mike Parker, a Realtor with Huff Realty, says.

10-mile commute to Downtown Cincinnati via Interstate 71
Erlanger residents looking to commute to Downtown Cincinnati can make the 10-mile trip via Interstate 71. The community borders the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport, making it convenient for those looking to catch a flight. While the airport is close, the noise shouldn’t be a huge factor. “The way the planes fly, the noise doesn’t bother Erlanger,” Parker says. For medical attention, St. Elizabeth Edgewood Hospital is 4 miles away.
From coneys and chili at Dixie Chili to a coffee and hearty breakfast at The Hive
When it’s time to grab a meal, residents enjoy heading to Dixie Chili & Deli. “It’s an old-time chili parlor that has been there for 40-50 years,” Parker says. Dixie Chili is known for its large selection of coneys and chili and a few deli sandwich options. When it’s time to sip on some caffeine and get some work done, The Hive is the place to go. The Hive offers a coffee bar and a coworker hive for those looking to get work done and a dining room for those who want to grab a hearty breakfast with some friends. Authentic Mexican food can be found at El Ocho Locho, a popular spot for their El Ocho Burrito, which includes chorizo, steak and chicken. Crestview Hills Town Center, an outdoor shopping mall anchored by Dillard’s, is less than 2 miles away. Locals make their way to Kroger when it's time to check items off a grocery list.

Hi there! I’m Katrina. I'm honored you've stopped by Homes.com :)
My professional journey began in journalism and marketing, where I honed my communication skills and learned to understand people’s needs and motivations. Today, I’m proud to lead The Scarlett Property Group, a venture that started by my incredible (step) mother, Debbie Robke after she left our family automotive businesses. In 2018, she brought me into the business as her team's buyer's agent, and together we continued to grow The Scarlett Property Group, deepening both our professional partnership and our incredible bond as mother and daughter.
Upon earning my real estate license, I embraced the opportunity to help clients find their dream homes. Whether it was their very first home, relocation, downsizing, or something else, it was (and still is, quite frankly) a chance to improve and grow my listening, research, and negotiation skills. My experience working with all of those clients, including many professional athletes and broadcast commentators, has enriched my approach, enabling me to provide exceptionally tailored service.
In 2020, when Debbie unexpectedly passed away, I faced a pivotal moment. Instead of stepping away from the business, I chose to honor her legacy by continuing our mission. The mission of guiding our clients through any real estate transaction to the best of our ability, keeping our clients informed throughout the entire process. Through living this mission, I show my children the importance of resiliency and hard work, teaching them what it means to overcome challenges and pursue their dreams.
At The Scarlett Property Group, I prioritize a seamless and enjoyable real estate experience for my clients... because if we're not having fun, then there's no point in doing it! With a commitment to honesty, integrity, ethics, clear communication, and genuine care, I’m here to support you every step of the way.
Let me show you how this Kentucky girl handles business!
