Across the Ohio River from Cincinnati, this historic city of 15,000 occupies less than 3 square miles of riverfront land. Northern Kentucky's rolling terrain rises steeply from the riverbank, creating dramatic elevation changes within short distances. Ohio River valley weather brings humid summers in the upper 80s and cold winters where temperatures often drop below freezing. The city's 19th-century architecture reflects its past as a major river port, though suburban development has shifted to surrounding Campbell County communities. Spring flooding occasionally threatens low-lying areas, while fall brings pleasant temperatures ideal for outdoor activity.
