Neighborhood living
Thirteen miles south of Cincinnati is the rural Outer Kenton neighborhood in Covington, Kentucky. “It’s a working-class community, and there is a really close neighborhood feel in the area,” says Shane Anchor of Coldwell Banker Realty, who has sold over 120 properties in the area. “People don’t realize it, but there is some good shopping and dining in the area as well.” The neighborhood is a largely undeveloped plot of land with plenty of green space. Outer Kenton was once a part of Latonia, Kentucky, a larger neighborhood that was incorporated into Covington. There is a good deal of space between houses and a variety of housing styles. The community is quaint but features parks, a nearby country club, and all the amenities of a traditional suburb.

Housing styles vary greatly in the area, as do price points. There are a good number of ranch-style homes, while buyers can also find new construction Craftsman builds or large, ornate Colonials that have a price point of over $1 million. The rural landscape means that the majority of houses sit on large lots and have very spacious yards. In many parts of the neighborhood, next-door neighbors can be acres away. The homes feature private driveways and garages for parking, and mature trees are a frequent fixture in the lawns. On the north end of the neighborhood, subdivisions are popping up with more modern builds. These homes are closer to one another and have smaller yards, but sidewalks provide an opportunity for exercise.
