I will more than likely be moving to the area sometime in late 2012. Can you tell me where I need to be looking. I will be renting either an apartment or house. Id love to find a nice 2 br house in a neighborhood setting for a 4 year old.
I need to be about 30 min from Cincy. A little farther would be ok if the price or location is great.
I know its a long way away but Id like to research and get as much info as I can.
As of right now off the top of my head, the areas around the border are Covington, Newport, Florence, and Fort Thomas? Are those going to be the main ones I need to be searching?

Thanks in advance.

Alexandria is nice

For the price, the Southern part of the county can't be beat. Alexandria still has plenty of reasonable housing. Route 27 is a straight shot Cincinnati. It leads you straight onto 471 or 275. It's semi-rural, or you can find fully rural. All within minutes of 27 or the AA HWY. If you are looking for apartment living, it's here as well. Taxes are still reasonable.

If you want to be in the city, Newport, Bellevue, Dayton and Covington are right on the river and only minutes from downtown Cincinnati. Nothing rural about these cities, but you can find very reasonable housing or rental.

Don't hesitate to reach out to me. I can hook you up with any information you need.

Thanks Dust, I figured you would pop up in this thread. More than likely I will be moving up in the 4th quarter of 2012. Im going to be getting back into the casino industry. I wanna stay in KY so I can keep officiating when I can, and because I am Ky ya know.
Taxes wise is there a big enough difference to even think about finding a place on the other side of the river? For the first year at least I will be renting so I dont see this being an issue.

The biggest obstacle I have right now is convincing the wife its time to move away from home. Which would be the first time for her. Good thing I have a long time to do it.

Fort Mitchell, Crestview Hills, Edgewood, Villa Hills, Lakeside Park- any of those cities are great, plus they're some of the tightest communities in Northern Kentucky, you have access to anywhere and anything you need, and they're about the closest to Cincinnati as you'll get.

Agree completely. Grew up in Ft. Mitchell and we now live in Ft. Wright. Good luck and welcome to the 9th Region!

csabo, if you are interested in Ft. Thomas let me know. Lived there my entire life with the exception of time away for college and the Marines. Nice little community feel (Collinsworth referred to it as Mayberry in an interview). Very close to downtown Cincinnati. It's a pretty small town (approx population of 15,000) with a really tight community feel, but all the conveniences of Cincinnati, Newport on the Levee, etc. being very close.

I work downtown and it takes me less than 10 minutes to get from my house to my office. Homes can be a little more expensive because of the school system and the convenience to downtown, but there is a wide range of housing stock from multi million dollar homes to homes in the $150,000 range generally available. Some apartment complexes, but not many. As you go further south in Campbell County, there are a lot more apartment complexes as you get closer to NKU, but those house a lot of college students.

Thanks for the info guys.

Yeah ill be with the wife and a then 5 year old so I dont wanna be anywhere near college apartments. God knows what I put people through when I was in that situation. I dont wanna be the old dude who always yells at people.

This is great info guys, its really gonna help out when I start making decisions.

If I was you I would rent a condo near downtown Cincy. If you can find one that ain't outrageous.
